Virtual Penetration Testing, better known as vPenTesting, is a service critical to add to your cyber security playbook. The vPentest acts as an ethical hacker trying to access your company's critical data. With our equipment and expertise, we are able to simulate a broad variety of cyber attacks to highlight any security gaps that may exist in your systems. With this information, we are able to generate a report highlighting these gaps and providing a way to strengthen the entire system. Not only does this highlight the gaps, but it can also show us where you are doing things right and where the defensive measures you’ve already taken are working. Below are some examples of what information you may receive after a vPentest:

02The Why

We live in an age where technology develops at a lightning pace. As fast as new security measures are developed, those with other intentions are developing their sinister tools. In the era of data and technology, having strong cyber security can quite literally be the difference between a successful company or bankruptcy. We have also noticed that many Insurance carriers are starting to require it for coverage due to the increased likelihood of cyber attacks. We offer annual and semi-annual vPentesting to ensure that all our clients sensitive data is always secure and protected. At SSI we believe knowledge is power and vPentesting is a way to give that power back to the clients we serve.
