Real-world attack simulation to uncover and address your security blind spots
Penetration testing (or “ethical hacking”) is a proactive security practice used to identify vulnerabilities in your systems, applications, networks, or devices—before attackers can exploit them. Unlike automated scans, penetration tests are hands-on assessments conducted by experienced cybersecurity professionals who simulate real-world threats using attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
Julie Security offers a full suite of Penetration Testing services, tailored to your technology stack, risk profile, and compliance objectives. We provide comprehensive testing that helps you harden defenses, meet regulatory requirements, and gain confidence in your overall security posture.
Types of Penetration Testing We Offer
1. Network Penetration Testing
Evaluates internal and external networks (on-prem, cloud, hybrid) for vulnerabilities such as misconfigured firewalls, exposed ports, insecure protocols, and unpatched systems. This test identifies potential entry points into your IT infrastructure.
2. Web & API Application Testing
Assesses custom web applications, portals, and APIs for flaws like injection attacks, authentication bypass, insecure direct object references (IDOR), and broken access controls. Ideal for SaaS platforms and customer-facing apps.
3. Wireless Network Testing
Analyzes wireless infrastructure (Wi-Fi, BLE, Zigbee) for risks such as rogue access points, weak encryption protocols, and unauthorized device access.
4. IoT & Embedded Device Testing
Focuses on firmware, physical interfaces, device communication, and OTA update mechanisms. We test for buffer overflows, insecure storage, lack of code signing, and other common flaws in connected devices.
5. Social Engineering & Phishing Tests
Simulates human-targeted attacks such as phishing emails or physical access attempts. Helps assess staff readiness and the effectiveness of awareness programs.
6. Cloud Infrastructure Penetration Testing
Tests misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and lateral movement risks in environments like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. We identify issues like insecure storage, IAM flaws, and exposed services.
7. Product Security Penetration Testing
Tailored for companies developing digital products. Includes attack simulations against embedded systems, software stacks, and product interfaces. This type supports EU CRA testing, vendor assurance, or customer trust requirements.
Our Approach
- Scoping & Rules of Engagement: We align on testing objectives, environments (prod or staging), and authorized actions.
- Manual & Automated Testing: We use proven tools alongside manual exploitation techniques to simulate real attacker behavior.
- Prioritized Risk Ratings: Findings are ranked based on business impact, exploitability, and remediation complexity.
- Secure Reporting & Knowledge Transfer: Detailed findings with remediation steps, plus optional workshops with your teams.
Deliverables
- Penetration Test Report (technical findings + business impact)
- Executive Summary & Visual Risk Heatmap
- Reproduction steps and remediation recommendations
- Optional: Presentation or Q&A session for dev, IT, or security teams
When to Use This Servic
- Before a major product launch or system deployment
- For compliance needs (ISO 27001, SOC 2, EU CRA, NIS2, etc.)
- During M&A due diligence or third-party security validation
- After major system changes, migrations, or policy updates
With Julie Security’s Penetration Testing, you get more than just a list of issues—you gain the insights and guidance needed to meaningfully reduce risk and improve resilience. Whether it’s for compliance, customer assurance, or internal readiness, we help you stay one step ahead.
