What Is Intelligence-Led Pentesting?
Intelligence-led pentesting differs from regular pen-testing as it is augmented with threat intelligence. By analyzing the business and technical overview of critical functions supporting systems and the latest hacking tools and techniques, EC-Council Global Services (EGS) can craft attack scenarios that cater to your environment.
It’s important to note that you manually choose what is to be tested in a regular pentest. However, in an intelligence-led pentest, your IT environment is fully analyzed to find critical or weak points, and the pentester decides what is to be targeted (unless you specifically deem elements out-of-scope, of course).
Why Is It Recommended?
Intelligence-led pentesting provides a holistic overview of your cybersecurity defenses instead of the piecemeal results from a regular pentest.
This service is very similar to a real-life attack scenario, mimicking advanced persistent threat actors that have the capabilities to perform deep reconnaissance (or surveillance) of a target environment when seeking critical systems to be targeted.
Who Needs Intelligence-Led Pentesting?
- Organizations that wish to identify and strengthen weak points in their systems to guard against advanced persistent threat actors
- Organizations looking to mitigate security risks, avoid cyberattacks and understand the effectiveness of their current security controls
- Organizations that want to have better insight into threat actors and vectors for their services and networks
Why Should You Consider Intelligence-Led Pentesting?
- To get an “attacker’s perspective” about your organization’s infrastructure: what they see, how to get in, and the critical targets
- For a clearer understanding of every testing phase
- To assess and provide insight into your organization’s resilience capabilities against real-world threat scenarios
- To determine if your organization has appropriate countermeasures and responses to detect and avert cyberattacks
