So, you’re investing in cybersecurity and are having a web application penetration test performed. No matter your reasons for doing so—whether you’re satisfying compliance requirements, a customer request, internally assessing your flagship service offering or confirming security policies—this is a great step towards strengthening your defenses.

For the first time since 2017, the FedRAMP Project Management Office (PMO) has updated the Penetration Testing Guidance document.

If you find yourself wondering what exactly an internal network penetration test is and whether or not your organization needs one, then you're in the right place. Many businesses invest heavily in external security but unknowingly remain vulnerable from the inside. That’s where internal pen tests come in handy. Yet despite their proven ability to help strengthen your overall security posture among numerous other notable benefits, it can be difficult to know where to start.

You know the phrase, “hindsight is 20/20.” It’s a well-trodden lament that can apply to almost everything—a failed job interview, an embarrassing misstep during a conversation, an insistence that the professor won’t include information from his footnotes in the final exam while studying.

When it comes to cybersecurity, you can never be too careful—especially when it comes to placing your trust in those who help you understand and secure your environment.

Whether you’re considering engaging Schellman for a penetration test of some kind or you’ve already signed a contract with us for such, you’d probably agree that transparency benefits everyone.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “an investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.”
