Autonomous penetration testing with NodeZero verifies the security of your infrastructure in much the same way as an experienced attacker would. It doesn’t just look for known vulnerabilities; it attempts to exploit them safely, identifies potential attack vectors, and demonstrates the potential impact of a successful breach.
Unlike standard scanners, you’ll get an overview of risks that can actually be exploited and a clear idea of what to address first.
NodeZero operates much like a real attacker. It begins by scanning the environment, searching for vulnerabilities, and safely verifying whether they can be exploited. If successful, it moves on and looks for other ways to gain elevated privileges or access to sensitive systems.
Instead of a long list of vulnerabilities found, you’ll get an overview of realistic attack vectors and their impact on your environment.
Path of Attack
The scanner searches for known vulnerabilities and generates a list of the issues it finds.
An automated penetration test verifies whether vulnerabilities are actually exploitable, identifies attack vectors, and demonstrates their impact on the infrastructure. Compared to a manual penetration test, it is faster and more cost-effective, so it can be used more frequently to continuously monitor the status of the environment.
Manual penetration test focuses on a detailed analysis of applications, business logic, and specific scenarios that automated tools cannot evaluate.
Automated penetration testing is no substitute for manual penetration testing. You’ll achieve the best results by combining the two—continuously verifying the resilience of your infrastructure and regularly having your applications or other critical systems tested by experienced specialists.
Test results are clearly displayed in the NodeZero portal. You’ll see attack vectors, exploitable vulnerabilities, and their priority. This allows you to focus on the measures that provide the greatest benefit to security.
