Penetration Testing: Not Every Hacker Has Good Intentions

The pressure on companies to protect their IT infrastructure is growing: regulatory requirements and security obligations across the entire supply chain, combined with a rising number of real-world attacks, create an urgent need for action. Penetration tests (pentests) are the method of choice for identifying vulnerabilities and improving overall security standards. We support you throughout the entire process – from planning and execution to documentation and actionable recommendations for effective countermeasures.

A Pentest Is More Than Just a Simulated Attack

New vulnerabilities in operating systems and applications are discovered almost daily. Even a single unpatched security gap can jeopardize the availability and integrity of an entire corporate network. In addition, misconfigurations in systems or within the network can create serious security issues. These vulnerabilities – regardless of whether they are exploited by new threats – represent a significant entry point for potential attacks.

Penetration tests emulate real-world attacks on your IT systems – targeting networks, cloud environments, applications, and interfaces – just as a malicious hacker would. This allows you to quickly identify where your weak points lie and where improvements are needed.

A successful penetration test begins with thorough preliminary analysis: during the pre-engagement and threat modeling phases, relevant attack vectors, industry-specific threats, and previous security incidents are assessed.

Company size, business model, and the technologies in use are all considered when selecting realistic testing scenarios – because a bank faces different threat profiles than an industrial enterprise. By leveraging established frameworks such as PTES or OWASP WSTG, the testing process becomes structured, reproducible, and consistent – even in repeat or follow-up tests.

You Place the Order – We Ensure Compliance

syracom conducts penetration tests across various industries and business segments – whether required by regulatory frameworks such as DORA, certifications like ISO 27001, BSI IT-Grundschutz, TISAX, or driven by your own internal security strategy.

We work with established international and national frameworks to meet your specific requirements and ensure full compliance throughout the execution of the penetration test.

Our services - your advantage: Assessing IT Security with Economic Efficiency

Adversary Simulation & Threat Emulation

We analyze your organization’s specific context to identify realistic attacker profiles and relevant TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures). Based on historical attacks and current threat intelligence, we develop tailored attack scenarios and execute them in close coordination with you.

Cloud Pentesting (AWS)

We conduct a comprehensive penetration test of your cloud environment to ensure the compliance and security of your tenant. This solution can be partially automated. As part of the assessment, we examine cloud configurations as well as the existing Identity and Access Management (IAM) setup.

Infrastructure Pentesting

We perform comprehensive infrastructure penetration tests to assess the security of your environments. These tests can be carried out either manually or fully automated, depending on your needs.

Web Application Pentesting

We conduct comprehensive web application penetration tests – regardless of whether your application is running in the cloud or on-premises. This allows us to assess the security of the application and identify vulnerabilities related to both the application itself and the configuration of its environment.

Application Security

We offer application penetration testing. Whether it’s a manifest issue or a buffer overflow – risks can exist even with a solid DevSecOps implementation. We help you identify these vulnerabilities and derive actionable measures to minimize potential attack vectors.

API Security

We conduct comprehensive penetration tests covering all interfaces and data transfers to enhance the security of information transmission and prevent unauthorized data flows or security vulnerabilities.

Pipeline Security

We perform security assessments of your software development environment to prevent unauthorized access and changes within the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). This includes a thorough review of all components such as servers, libraries, and containers.

IoT Security

We conduct cryptographic and configuration-level security checks, as well as penetration tests on IoT devices, including analysis of all external data communication.

Vulnerability Scanning

We recommend suitable tools and train your staff to use them effectively.
Alternatively, we can perform vulnerability scans in your network ourselves and derive actionable recommendations based on the results.

Whiteteaming

We take on the overarching role in security assessments and ensure that Red Team and Blue Team activities are executed effectively and in a controlled manner. We are responsible for planning, coordination, and management of the tests, as well as for communication between all involved parties.

Security Validation mit Pentera

In addition to validation by our security experts, we also offer continuous fully automated testing using the Pentera platform.

A Flexible and Modular Approach:

Consulting and Implementation

We provide technology-agnostic consulting on suitable security methods and help you identify the right measures for your specific requirements. Whether you need targeted support or end-to-end implementation – we guide you through every step of the process with flexibility and expertise.

 

Conducting Penetration Tests

Our penetration tests cover all critical security areas – from infrastructure and applications to development pipelines. We perform systematic, hands-on testing to detect vulnerabilities early and eliminate them effectively.

 

Training & Knowledge Transfer

Security relies on the awareness and competence of your employees. That’s why we embed our expertise sustainably within your organization – through tailored training programs and continuous knowledge transfer during our projects. Our goal: a strengthened security culture with lasting impact.

 

Risk Analysis

We identify relevant threat scenarios specific to your organization and derive a tailored security strategy. We always take your business context into account and prioritize risks in a targeted manner.

 

Reporting and Action Plans

You receive clearly structured, easy-to-understand reports with concrete, actionable recommendations. If desired, we also take full responsibility for implementing all recommended measures – ensuring maximum impact with minimal effort on your end.
