What the service covers
External and internal network penetration testing
Testing validates exploitable weaknesses in agreed IP ranges, network services and trust paths. Activities follow documented rules of engagement to control risk to production systems.
Web application and API security testing
Assess authentication, authorization, session handling, input validation, business logic and API exposure using techniques aligned to recognized web and API security practices, including OWASP guidance.
Mobile application security assessment
Review mobile application attack surfaces, local storage, transport security, authentication flows and API interactions within the agreed platform and test scope.
Cloud configuration and attack-path review
Evaluate exposed services, identity permissions, control-plane configuration and practical escalation paths in supported cloud environments without treating configuration findings as penetration results by default.
Authenticated vulnerability assessment where appropriate
Where credentials are provided, authenticated checks improve visibility into missing patches, insecure settings and software exposure that cannot be reliably identified from the network alone.
Evidence-backed findings, risk ranking and remediation guidance
Findings include reproducible evidence, affected assets, technical impact, risk context and remediation guidance. Retest scope and timing are confirmed in the proposal so closure can be independently validated.
Who this service is designed for
- Organizations preparing for audits or customer assurance
- Businesses launching internet-facing applications or APIs
- Teams validating remediation after major changes
- Organizations needing evidence-based risk prioritization
Delivery approach
Understand
Define objectives, in-scope assets, test windows, exclusions, source IPs, emergency contacts and rules of engagement.
Evaluate
Perform reconnaissance and controlled testing using manual techniques supported by appropriate tooling; validate findings before reporting.
Implement
Report exploitable findings with evidence, severity, business context and remediation guidance, separating confirmed issues from observations.
Measure
Retest agreed findings after remediation and issue closure evidence or residual-risk notes for anything still exposed.
Business outcomes
- Validated exploitable weaknesses instead of raw scanner output
- Clear remediation priorities for technical teams
- Improved confidence before production launches or audits
- Retest evidence to confirm closure of critical findings
How this service fits your wider security program
Penetration testing is a point-in-time validation activity. The greatest value comes when confirmed attack paths feed patching, secure configuration, application security, cloud hardening and monitoring use cases, and when retesting confirms that high-risk issues were actually closed.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a penetration test take?
Duration depends on asset count, application complexity, access level, test type and production constraints. A small external scope may take days, while a multi-application or internal assessment can require several weeks. Zyberon confirms the timeline after scoping.
Black box, grey box or white box: which approach do we need?
Black-box testing starts with minimal information and emphasizes external attack exposure. Grey-box testing provides limited credentials or architecture context to increase depth. White-box testing uses broad knowledge or access for maximum coverage. Many enterprise engagements combine approaches by asset type.
Will the report support NCA or SAMA audit preparation?
The report can map relevant findings to applicable control areas when this is included in scope. A penetration test itself does not constitute regulatory compliance, but it can provide useful evidence and remediation input for a broader compliance program.
Is a retest included?
Retesting should be explicitly defined in the commercial scope. Zyberon can include a retest window for agreed findings so customers can demonstrate whether remediation has closed the validated exposure.
