Paladion Penetration Testing service proactively attempts to break into your system to assess your level of security preparedness. This helps you get a hacker's eye view of the system, and it enables you to identify security holes that could be exploited by a remote attacker to compromise your system.
At Paladion, we employ penetration testing tools and techniques that are constantly updated to include all known threats and risks. This means that after your system is tested & certified, it can be used with the absolute assurance that it is secure.

There are three components to this service:

	Light perimeter test - testing the strength of the perimeter from a remote location.
	Full perimeter test - verifying the security of the perimeter, the servers in the DMZ, with remote exploitation of the DMZ, and accessible internal systems.
	Internal test - the 'trusted-insider' test, launched from inside the client's network, with internal exploitation.

Who needs it?
