At Precursor, we understand the importance of your external public facing network and the negative impact security breaches may have on a company. We collaborate with our clients to protect their external networks from a variety of cyber threats.
External network penetration testing is a proactive and systematic evaluation of an organisation's externally facing infrastructure, including servers, routers, firewalls, and other internet-accessible devices.
By conducting regular external network penetration testing, organisations can stay ahead of evolving cyber threats and maintain a robust security posture. This proactive approach enables them to address vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them
