The Acrotec Advantage: Fast, Continuous, and Expert-Guided Penetration Testing
In today’s threat landscape, annual, point-in-time security tests are no longer enough—cybercriminals operate around the clock, and your defences must be just as relentless. Acrotec delivers modernised penetration testing through continuous assessment and expert-led analysis to uncover and address vulnerabilities before they’re exploited
This hybrid approach moves beyond the slow and expensive manual tests of the past, providing a real-world, continuous assessment of your security. It answers the one question every business leader should be asking: "Are we secure right now?"
Why Modern Penetration Testing is a Business Imperative
Protect Your Bottom Line
The cost of a data breach—including regulatory fines, operational downtime, and legal fees—can be devastating. Our efficient testing model makes proactive defence an affordable investment to prevent a catastrophic loss.
Achieve and Maintain Compliance
Many industry standards (like Essential 8, APRA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001) require regular security testing. Our platform offers the flexibility, documentation, and on-demand assessments necessary to demonstrate compliance and prevent significant penalties.
Safeguard Your Reputation
A security incident can destroy the trust you've built with your customers. Demonstrating a continuous and proactive approach to security is a powerful way to build and maintain client confidence.
Maximise Your Security ROI
You invest heavily in firewalls, endpoint protection, and other security tools. Our testing verifies that these controls are configured correctly and working effectively, ensuring you get the maximum return on your security investments.
What is Automated Penetration Testing? A Smarter, Faster Simulated Attack
Penetration testing is a controlled, ethical cyberattack designed to evaluate the security of your IT infrastructure. The Acrotec approach leverages a sophisticated platform that automates the tactics and techniques of real-world attackers to consistently and rapidly identify vulnerabilities in your systems and applications.
Unlike a simple vulnerability scan that only finds known issues, our platform safely performs exploitation techniques to confirm what is truly exploitable. This is then reviewed by our experts, who analyse the business impact of these findings—a critical step that pure automation alone cannot provide.
Our Comprehensive Testing Services Include
External Network Penetration Testing
We continuously assess your internet-facing perimeter (firewalls, servers, routers) to discover if an external attacker can gain access to your internal network.
Web Application Penetration Testing
We analyse your websites and applications for complex vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), that could lead to a data breach.
Internal Network Penetration Testing
Simulating an attacker who already has initial access (e.g., through a phishing email), we identify how far they could move laterally through your internal network to reach critical assets.
Pre- and Post-Breach Simulations
Our platform can simulate attacks from both outside your network (pre-breach) and inside your network (post-breach) to provide a comprehensive view of your defensive capabilities.
How It's Done: Our Disciplined, 5-Phase Methodology
A professional security assessment is a systematic process. We combine the power of automation with essential human oversight to deliver comprehensive results with zero disruption.
Our Expert-Guided Process:
Planning & Scoping: This phase is still the most critical. We work directly with you to define objectives, scope, and rules of engagement. Our experts ensure the test aligns perfectly with your business goals and compliance needs.
Automated Discovery & Reconnaissance: Our platform gathers information and performs a comprehensive discovery of all systems and services within the target environment, identifying potential attack vectors in the same manner as a real attacker would.
Automated Exploitation: This is where the power of automation shines. The platform systematically and safely attempts to exploit the vulnerabilities discovered, confirming their existence and a hacker's ability to leverage them. It's faster, broader, and more consistent than manual-only methods.
Expert Analysis & Business Impact Assessment: Once the platform gains access, our work begins. We analyse the findings to determine the real-world business risk. Can we access sensitive data? Can we gain administrative control? This analysis is crucial for prioritising what matters most.
Strategic Reporting & Remediation Roadmap: The engagement concludes with your most valuable asset: the report. We translate complex technical findings into a comprehensive, easy-to-understand document. It details all findings, assesses the business impact, and provides a clear, prioritised, and actionable roadmap for remediation. We don’t just find problems—we provide the solutions.
