3 Key Penetration Testing Techniques
Black box pentesting
Simulating blind outside attacks, evaluating system vulnerabilities.
Pentester exploration uncovers potential system weaknesses via ethical hacking tools, targeting vulnerabilities to breach security barriers, utilizing only accessible data about your organization or solution.
Primary Advantage: Swift, economical penetration testing, making it an efficient choice.

Gray box pentesting
Penetration testers emulate an adept intruder with restricted entry or understanding of the objective.
Examining internal system weaknesses and potential impacts through analysis of architectural diagrams, network design docs, and limited user access credentials, the Sfinitor team uncovers vulnerabilities within targeted systems.
Key Advantage: Strikes a balance between cost-efficiency and comprehensive exploration.

Healthcare Penetration Testing Procedure
1. Contact & planning
This is how we start:
- Upon receipt of your request, a representative from our team will initiate contact within 24 hours for an initial consultation regarding your case. Prior to this call, we can execute a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to safeguard the confidentiality of your proprietary business data.
- Proposal outlines testing strategy with defined scope, methodology, team makeup, deadlines, and budget estimates tailored to your security & compliance requirements.
- Ready to execute Business Associate Agreements for handling Protected Health Information access.
- Upon contract execution, an expeditiously assembled penetration testing team initiates projects promptly, completing them within one week's timeframe.
2. Testing
- Employing Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), our penetration testing unit gathers publicly accessible data on your IT systems and software for comprehensive security assessments.
- Utilizing data amassed and relevant documentation - varying from software blueprints to source code and architectural schematics - Sfinitor's experts identify potential threat avenues and attack scenarios, tailored to the specified methodology.
- In post-scanning procedures, Sfinitor's penetration testers meticulously validate identified vulnerabilities across targeted networks, applications, devices, and source codes. This process guarantees reliable findings devoid of false positives.
- Our team follows best security testing practices established by OWASP, PTES, and NIST SP 800-115 when conducting such penetration testing activities as:
- Standard credential brute-force attacks.
- Vulnerabilities exploited: directory traversal, injection, overflow attacks.
3. Reporting & remediation
- The pentesting unit provides a thorough testing summary and vulnerability rundown post-assessment. Utilizing NIST CVSS and OWASP categorizations, we evaluate and rank discovered security threats by their potential impact and probability of exploitation.
- Detailed explanations for rectifying identified vulnerabilities are presented.
- Upon client demand, our team can execute software code revisions and health IT infrastructure adjustments to address specified issues. Alternatively, we can create essential procedures and guidelines for adherence to security compliance standards and regulations.
