Penetration testing AntwerpEthical hacking for your business

Penetration testing in Antwerp shows how an attacker would get into your business, before a real attacker does. An ethical hacker tests your website, web application or network within agreed limits and explains in plain language what he found and how to fix it.

  • Written scope
  • Report in plain language
  • Retest after fixes

What penetration testing in Antwerp uncovers

These are the holes we see most often at SMEs. An automated scan finds far from all of them.

  • 1

    Forgotten parts

    An old test site, a subdomain or an admin page that is still online and no longer updated.

  • 2

    Weak logins

    No two-step verification, default passwords or a login that allows unlimited attempts.

  • 3

    Flaws in the web application

    Customers who can see each other's data by changing an id in the URL, or forms that let code through.

  • 4

    Outdated software

    A plugin, server or VPN with a known hole for which an update has long existed.

  • 5

    Too many rights

    Accounts that can do more than needed, so one hacked account opens the door to everything.

Questions about penetration testing in Antwerp

Question not listed? E-mail us or use the chat at the bottom right.

What is the difference between a pentest and ethical hacking?

Very little. Ethical hacking is the way of working: a hacker who attacks with permission. A penetration test is the scoped assignment with a report as the result.

Will my website be down during the test?

Normally not. We agree which tests we do and when. Tests that could disrupt operations are only done after consultation and outside busy hours.

How long does a penetration test take?

For a regular business website usually a few days, longer for a larger web application or network. The proposal includes a concrete timeline.

Can I hire an ethical hacker for a system belonging to my supplier?

Only with written permission from the owner or administrator. We arrange that together during scoping.

How often should I have a pentest done?

At least once a year, and after every major change such as a new website, customer portal or move to the cloud.
