What is infrastructure penetration testing?
Infrastructure penetration testing, also referred to as network penetration testing, involves a systematic and controlled simulation of cyber-attacks on your organization’s IT infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors.
By simulating real-world attack scenarios, our testers are able to pinpoint weaknesses that might otherwise go unnoticed, offering a clear understanding of potential entry points, the impact of a successful breach, and the necessary steps to mitigate risks.
The benefits of infrastructure penetration testing for your business
Regular infrastructure penetration testing is not just a compliance necessity but a strategic investment in your organization’s security framework.
Strengthen IT infrastructure
Network penetration testing allows you to identify vulnerabilities across both internal and external networks, from outdated software and misconfigured devices to unpatched systems.
Proactively remediate vulnerabilities
Our testing process not only identifies weaknesses but also provides you with detailed recommendations for remediation, so you can address weaknesses before they’re exploited.
Improve security posture
By regularly testing your infrastructure, you can track the progress of your security efforts over time, ensuring that your organization stays one step ahead of evolving threats.
Compliance with regulatory bodies
Many industries are subject to stringent regulatory requirements that mandate regular penetration testing. Our reporting is supplied in an exportable, standardized format for an easier way to maintain compliance.
Incident Response Preparedness
Infrastructure penetration testing helps you identify and close gaps in your incident response plans, ensuring that you are prepared to act swiftly in the event of an attack, minimizing downtime, financial losses and reputational damage.

How does infrastructure penetration testing work?
Infrastructure penetration testing works by simulating cyberattacks on your organization's IT environment to identify vulnerabilities. Our experts attempt to exploit potential weaknesses in your internal and external networks, just like a real hacker would. The goal is to uncover security gaps so you can fix them before they're exploited in a real attack.
Why is network penetration testing important?
Network penetration testing is important because it helps you find and fix security vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. It’s like a security checkup for your IT infrastructure, ensuring that your systems are protected against the latest threats. Regular testing is key to maintaining a strong security posture and preventing data breaches.
External vs internal infrastructure penetration testing - what’s the difference?
External infrastructure penetration testing focuses on the parts of your network that are accessible from the internet, like your web servers and firewalls. Internal testing, on the other hand, targets your internal systems—those that are behind your firewall and usually not visible to the outside world. Both are crucial, as they address different areas where threats might occur.
How often should you conduct infrastructure pentesting?
You should conduct infrastructure penetration testing at least once a year, but more frequently if you’ve made significant changes to your network, introduced new systems, or are subject to strict regulatory requirements. Regular testing helps you stay ahead of potential threats and ensures your security measures are up to date.
How will I receive my results?
You’ll receive your results through our dynamic, real-time vulnerability management hub - the Rootshell Platform. Instead of static PDF reports, you’ll have access to a live dashboard where you can drill down into specific vulnerabilities, track remediation progress, and export reports as needed.
What’s the goal of network pentesting?
The goal of network penetration testing is to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in your IT infrastructure before they can be exploited by attackers. It’s about proactively strengthening your security defenses, ensuring compliance, and protecting your organization’s sensitive data from breaches.
