Turn annual testing into an always-on risk reduction program. Avertium’s continuous penetration testing validates what is truly exploitable as infrastructure, identities, applications, and attacker techniques change. We combine recurring external testing, deeper quarterly exercises, and attack-path-based reporting with detailed and prioritized remediation to strengthen detection, improve audit readiness, and reduce breach risk over time.
Avertium combines recurring validation, human-led attack logic, and measurable reporting into a single offensive security program. Instead of waiting for a yearly snapshot, you continuously test how real attackers could gain access, move laterally, abuse identity, and create business impact; then, use that insight to fix what matters most.
Quarterly reports that include:
Attack path narratives that show how weaknesses across perimeter, identity, and internal access can combine into business impact
Executive-ready summaries with clear risk statements, trends, and program outcomes that leadership can track over time
Memorandum-style updates when urgent issues emerge, such as newly exploitable vulnerabilities, exposed credentials, or material control gaps
Avertium’s continuous penetration testing methodology is a programmatic, human-led approach designed to keep pace with changing environments and attacker behavior. We combine recurring external validation with periodic deep-dive internal, social engineering, and purple team exercises to uncover exploitable attack paths, validate control effectiveness, and drive measurable risk reduction over time:
Scope and prioritize: Define in-scope assets, identities, applications, business-critical workflows, rules of engagement, and the attack paths that matter most to your organization
Begin weekly external validation: Perform recurring testing of internet-facing assets to identify new weaknesses, validate exploitability, and surface emerging attack paths as the environment changes
Conduct quarterly deep dives:
First quarter: Social engineering engagement to test phishing susceptibility, human risk, and identity-based attack paths
Second quarter: Internal Pen Test to simulate an assumed breach and validate lateral movement, privilege escalation, and access to sensitive systems
Third quarter: Purple team engagement to validate detections and response workflows while tuning controls against real attacker techniques
Fourth quarter: Targeted assessment determined by previous results and focused on crown-jewel applications, critical workflows, or other high-impact attack paths
See how your security holds up as environments, identities, and attack techniques change. Get a clear, ongoing path to measurable risk reduction.
