When will organizations take cyber security seriously? MGM social engineering attack is the latest repetitive display of how easy attackers gain access.
The statistics already show Social Engineering is a very effective tactic used against even the most secure organizations to gain access into the inside. But why is this still happening, especially to a large casino like MGM? Are security awareness programs for employees ineffective? Or just not being used and facilitated properly? Let’s talk about…

The Importance of Penetration Testing: Safeguarding Your Digital Assets
Introduction: In an era dominated by technological advancements and digital innovation, the importance of robust cybersecurity measures cannot be overstated. One crucial aspect of ensuring the safety and integrity of your digital assets is penetration testing. In this blog post, we will delve into the significance of penetration testing, exploring how it safeguards your organization…
Our penetration testing services will allow you to
Identify your threat surface faster
We specialize in penetration testing and identification of vulnerabilities that put organizations at risk
Before the hackers get there – contact BlackHatPenTest
Penetration Testing
Need a penetration test for compliance or an audit? You have arrived at the right place. We concentrate on providing penetration tests for improving your information security posture, compliance with an audit, or both.
Vulnerability Scanning
Need a vulnerability scan for PCI or ISO compliance or just want to keep track of security misconfigurations before they get out of hand? Single, quarterly, and monthly are all options for Vulnerability Scanning.
Hardware Penetration Testing
You have a hardware solution or product but can’t find an organization that will effectively test its security? Penetration testing hardware is a niche and we are specialists.
Continuous Threat Surface Management
One penetration test a year is great for compliance, but not enough to keep you safe.
Static Code Analysis
Get a comprehensive report of findings and security best practices recommendations with our code scanning.
Ransomware Penetration Testing
How prepared are you for ransomware? We focus on a targeted attack narrative to determine if your systems are at risk

Our Methodology, Tools, and Approach
Methodology
We utilize the NIST SP800-115 and the PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard)
For targeted testing, Black Hat Pen-Test will utilize the OWASP Top 10 frameworks for Mobile Applications, Web Applications, API Security Testing, and Static Code Analysis.
We utilize the tactics and techniques within the MITRE Att&CK framework: (Initial Access, Execution, Persistence, Privilege Escalation, Defense Evasion, Credential Access, Discovery, Lateral Movement, Collection, Exfiltration, Command and Control)
Tools
We utilize a variety of Linux distributions for our penetration testing including:
Kali Linux
ParrotOS
BlackBox
We utilize both open-source and commercial versions of tools (Nessus, Metasploit, BurpSuite Pro)
We utilize custom developed scripting for OSINT, scanning, spidering, and enumeration of systems to efficiently identify threat vectors that may be present in applications and hosts in a target organization.
Attack Narratives
We can simulate an attack from an outsider, internal threat, a bot attack, or a custom narrative that will closely match your company’s business model.
A properly planned attack narrative can provide a deeper test into the specific risks of an organization’s IT Security. An advanced attacker may be after your organization for the data you hold and process (PHI/PII/Health/Financial Information).
Black Hat Pen-Test can create mock scenarios to simulate these attacks so you can increase your defenses against these simulated attacks.
Why Choose Us ?
We have been performing security testing long before penetration testing was offered in the commercial space. Many penetration test companies are part of an IT Compliance or Attestation Firm- we are not. We focus specifically on identifying vulnerabilities that a hacker would take advantage of to steal data or break into systems.
“To effectively identify threat surface you must understand more than just how to use penetration test scanning tools. You must understand development and how the systems are operating on the back-end and ways that an attacker could exploit them”
Our penetration testers are previous security operations engineers, industry thought leaders, and application developers who understand security on a deeper level.
