Attack and Penetration Identify and remediate vulnerabilities to protect critical assets Protiviti’s attack and penetration services protect sensitive data and systems, helping to avoid costly breaches, intellectual property loss, business disruption, and reputation damage. With the expanding threat landscape, it is critical to understand security vulnerabilities, their root causes, and remediation options. Using our advanced penetration testing expertise, we identify vulnerabilities and provide actionable remediation guidance. Assuming an “attacker mindset” to replicate any scenario, we leverage best-in-class commercial security tools, leading freeware, the top open-source tools, and the latest penetration testing techniques. Applications, services, databases, the Internet of Things (IoT), and mobile devices, whether on-premise or in the cloud, are safer with Protiviti.
