What we do best

Most organizations fail to realize that both the threats and vulnerabilities they face are dynamic. Security is not an attainable static state, but an ongoing practice – constant diligence is required. Penetration testing can be the security review an organization needs to see how to keep their infrastructure updated and ready.

Being involved in the Information Security industry we incorporate this knowledge into our testing methodology when working with clients. We specialize in techniques and approaches to effectively assess the security of an organization and implement defenses.

Security is a process. Identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in systems is only one step. Our approach includes various methods and techniques that make our services unique.

When a system is compromised using an exploit, some may believe that they have “won” and the testing is over. We believe that this is simply the beginning of true testing. When a system is compromised it is important to explore the capabilities this would give an attacker in order to best document and understand risk. 

The list below is a complete list of all services offered by UNIT5. If you would like to know more please contact us to get in touch.

PENETRATION TESTING

Our penetration testing services go beyond the surface, providing a comprehensive assessment of your overall security posture and recommending proactive measures.


Identify and remediate vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers seeking unauthorized access or data breaches.

During this phase, we perform port scans, vulnerability scans, and testing for all computers, devices, databases and networking equipment on in-scope networks. We then validate the scan results to weed out false positives by manually verifying a subset of results within particular vulnerability classes, review the discovered vulnerabilities. We include ones marked as “Low” or “Informational”, as well as manually probe the in-scope networks to look for additional methods of entry or compromise not flagged by a scanner.
Our penetration testing services go beyond the surface, providing a comprehensive Wi-Fi penetration testing services to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in wireless networks.
