Penetration Testing: A Critical Layer of Defense
Penetration testing is a simulated cyberattack conducted by security professionals to identify vulnerabilities in an organization’s systems, networks, or applications. Often referred to as “ethical hacking,” pen testing helps businesses understand how well their defenses stand up against real-world cyber threats.
Summit offers clients access to three key types of penetration testing:
- Network Penetration Testing
Summit’s network penetration testing services examine an organization’s entire IT infrastructure from both internal and external perspectives. By simulating the tactics used by cybercriminals, these tests assess the resilience of firewalls, routers, and other network components, helping companies close critical gaps before they’re exploited.

- Application Penetration Testing
The rise in application-based attacks has placed a premium on securing web and mobile applications. Summit’s experts conduct comprehensive tests to uncover vulnerabilities like SQL injections, authentication flaws, and cross-site scripting (XSS) within custom and off-the-shelf applications. These findings allow organizations to implement fixes and safeguard their customer data. Explore Application Testing
- Wireless Penetration Testing
In an era of widespread wireless access, ensuring the security of wireless networks has never been more important. Summit’s wireless penetration tests expose vulnerabilities in Wi-Fi networks, rogue access points, and wireless protocols. By securing wireless environments, companies can prevent unauthorized access and ensure seamless, secure connectivity. Explore Wireless Testing
The Importance of Proactive Cybersecurity
As the landscape of cyber threats evolves, penetration testing is becoming an essential strategy for businesses that aim to remain compliant with industry standards and regulations while protecting their reputation and assets. Penetration testing offers a real-time, detailed analysis of an organization’s security posture, enabling immediate remediation of vulnerabilities before they become security incidents.
