Network Penetration Testing & Network VAPT
Protect what matters with Network Penetration Testing & Network VAPT
Your network is the terrain an attacker moves through. Aesparrow’s Network VAPT assesses your internal and external infrastructure — servers, firewalls, routers, services and segmentation — to find the misconfigurations, exposed services, weak protocols and missing patches that let attackers gain a foothold and move laterally. We simulate real-world attacks to show you how secure your network really is.
We cover both perspectives: external testing of your internet-facing perimeter, and internal testing that models an attacker who already has a foothold. Findings are verified by hand, rated by business impact, and delivered with clear remediation guidance and a free re-test — mapped to NIST and CIS so the results hold up with your auditors.
- Certified senior practitioners
- Audit-ready reporting
- Free re-test included
Network Penetration Testing & Network VAPT — done right, the first time.
Senior practitioners. Verified findings. Free re-test.
Overview
Network VAPT is a structured assessment of your infrastructure security. We identify weaknesses across servers, network devices, services and segmentation, then safely exploit them to demonstrate real-world impact — giving you a prioritised roadmap to harden your environment.
What we test for
- Misconfigurations — insecure services, defaults and hardening gaps
- Open ports & exposed services — unnecessary attack surface
- Weak protocols & encryption — legacy and insecure configurations
- Missing patches — known-exploitable vulnerabilities
- Segmentation & lateral movement — how far an attacker can pivot
- Credential & authentication weaknesses — reused and weak credentials
Framework mapping
- NIST SP 800-115 — technical testing methodology
- CIS Benchmarks — secure configuration baselines
- MITRE ATT&CK — techniques for lateral-movement testing
