    Network Penetration Testing

    Validate your perimeter and internal attack surface with manual network penetration testing. Budget Security helps you uncover misconfigurations, weak segmentation, and exploitable services—without the overhead of traditional firms.

    External network testing focuses on internet-facing systems like VPN gateways, mail services, remote access, and exposed services. Internal testing simulates an attacker who already has a foothold—testing lateral movement, privilege escalation, and resilience against realistic intrusions.

    Whether you need an external assessment for due diligence or an internal test to validate Zero Trust assumptions, you can scope targets, choose testing depth, and book online with clear pricing.

    How we approach network pentesting

    Testing combines structured manual analysis with supporting tooling to identify reachable services, misconfigurations, and exploitable weaknesses. Findings are validated to reduce false positives and help your team prioritize patching and architecture improvements.

    Network Penetration Testing — FAQ

    What is external network penetration testing?
    It tests systems and services exposed to the internet to find weaknesses attackers could reach from outside your organization—like open ports, insecure remote access, and vulnerable services.
    What is internal network penetration testing?
    It simulates an attacker inside your network to evaluate lateral movement, privilege escalation, segmentation, and exposure of critical internal systems.
    Can you test both external and internal networks?
    Yes. Many organizations combine external and internal testing for a fuller picture of attack paths—from perimeter breach to domain impact.
    Do I need to provide VPN access for internal testing?
    Internal testing typically requires a safe way to reach the environment, such as VPN, jump host, or an on-site appliance approach. Your engagement details are agreed as part of onboarding and scope.
    Will scanning or exploitation cause outages?
    We aim to minimize risk, but any security testing can affect fragile systems. Coordinate change windows, monitoring, and rollback plans—especially for production targets.
    How do I estimate pricing?
