Perimeter Scan
Identify exposed assets, reduce your attack surface, and uncover potential entry points through comprehensive external perimeter assessments.
Overview
Your external perimeter is often the first point of contact for adversaries seeking to infiltrate your organisation. Misconfigured systems, forgotten development environments, and exposed services can provide attackers with direct paths to internal networks.
CortexTrace's Perimeter Assessment identifies and maps Internet facing assets across your organisation, uncovering weaknesses that could be exploited. Unlike automated vulnerability scanners, our approach is fundamentally manual and expert driven. We think like real attackers, identifying vulnerabilities that automated tools miss, from custom built applications to industry specific exposures that depend on your unique processes and systems. We uncover logic flaws, business process vulnerabilities, and exposures in third party software that has not been covered by mainstream security research.
Our Methodology
Passive Reconnaissance
- OSINT, DNS enumeration, and internet-wide scans to identify exposed assets
- Certificate transparency log analysis and subdomain discovery
Active Enumeration
- Probing for misconfigurations in public-facing services and web applications
- Identify shadow IT, forgotten development environments, and legacy systems
Vulnerability Identification
- Detect known vulnerabilities, outdated software, and misconfigured services
- Identify logic flaws and business process vulnerabilities unique to your environment
Targeted Exploitation
- Time-boxed validation of exploitability including credential stuffing and weak configurations
- Demonstrate real-world impact of identified vulnerabilities
Attack Surface Mapping
- Comprehensive inventory of all externally accessible assets and services
- Risk classification based on exposure level and potential business impact
Reporting & Remediation
- Deliver prioritised findings with clear remediation guidance
- Provide ongoing monitoring recommendations for continuous perimeter security
