Get Continuous
Penetration Testing
Now with Us!
Whether you need annual, quarterly or monthly penetration testing, we help you get what you need.
Why Get Penetration Testing With Intersectis?
1. Network Recon & Mapping
This initial phase involves identifying and mapping the target network’s assets and topology.
2. Vulnerability Analysis
Once the network landscape is understood, testers look for known and potential vulnerabilities.
3. Exploitation & Privilege Escalation
In this phase, testers attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to resources or escalate privileges.
4. Reporting & Remediation Guidance
Don’t just get told what was uncovered, get actionable remediation steps with step by step screen shots.
Understanding CTEM
In today’s dynamic threat landscape, annual or infrequent penetration tests are no longer sufficient. Cyber threats evolve constantly, and so do your IT environments with new applications, cloud services, and configurations. This creates a continuous stream of potential vulnerabilities that attackers are quick to exploit.
This is where Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) with continuous penetration testing becomes vital. Instead of a point-in-time snapshot, CTEM provides an ongoing, automated, and proactive approach to discovering and mitigating risks. It offers real-time visibility into your attack surface, identifying weaknesses as they emerge.
By continuously testing your defenses with Intersectis, we can detect and remediate vulnerabilities faster, drastically reducing the window of opportunity for attackers. This proactive stance not only strengthens your overall security posture but also helps prioritize security efforts and resources effectively. Adopting CTEM means shifting from a reactive, “whack-a-mole” approach to a strategic, continuous cycle of assessment, validation, and improvement, ensuring your defenses keep pace with emerging threats and business changes. It’s about staying ahead, not just catching up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is penetration testing?
Penetration testing is a simulated cyberattack against your computer system to check for exploitable vulnerabilities. Unlike a vulnerability assessment which just identifies flaws, a pentest attempts to actively exploit them to determine the level of risk and potential impact.
Why do we need penetration testing?
Organizations need penetration testing to identify security weaknesses before malicious attackers do, comply with regulatory requirements (like PCI DSS, HIPAA), assess the effectiveness of security controls, understand potential business impacts of a breach, and improve their overall security posture.
How often should penetration testing be performed?
The frequency depends on several factors, including regulatory requirements, the criticality of the systems, how often the IT environment changes (e.g., new applications, significant infrastructure updates), and the organization’s risk appetite. Generally, at least annually is recommended, or after major changes. For some, continuous or more frequent testing is becoming standard.
What happens after a penetration test? What's in the report?
After the test, a detailed report is provided. This report typically includes an executive summary (for management), a technical breakdown of vulnerabilities found, the methodologies used, evidence of exploitation (if successful), an assessment of the risk level for each vulnerability, and actionable recommendations for remediation and improvement.The organization then uses this report to prioritize and fix the identified issues.
