When was your last cyber CATSCAN®
Penetration testing, also known as pen testing or ethical hacking, is a simulated cyber attack on a computer system, network, or web application.
The goal of penetration testing is to identify vulnerabilities in a system that could be exploited by malicious attackers. As Penetration testers we use a variety of tools and techniques to try to gain unauthorized access to a system, or to otherwise compromise its security. This can include techniques such as scanning all 65,535 open ports, trying default or weak passwords, or attempting to exploit known software vulnerabilities. Once the vulnerabilities have been identified, the penetration tester works with the system's owner to prioritize and address them, in order to improve the overall security of the system.

CATSCAN® is the next evolution in protective services. Instead of providing a one-size-fits-all, commodity assessment, CATSCAN offers novel red team services that closely match the operational cadence of real-world attacks. CATSCAN enables ProactiveRISK clients to have much better insight into their security posture by witnessing well-trained and tool-rich operators attempt to access their network.
Every project has a beginning, a middle and an end. But they’re not the same for every business. Where a CATSCAN implementation starts for your department will be different from where it starts for a similar department in another company.
That’s why ProactiveRISK starts every comprehensive application testing and scanning project with a scoping exercise. We can reduce the time it takes us – and probably save you some money – if we ask some basic questions about your department’s readiness for this new technology. Based on your candid responses, we can supply you with a not-to-exceed proposal that will prevent needless work and enable us to focus straightaway on your pinpoints.

Your unique needs will determine where along our five-phase project timeline we start, which stages require the most resources and what a successful end-of-job looks like.
