Pentesting: what's the point?

In this digital world, information security is both an opportunity and a challenge, attracting the attention of cybercriminals. It's essential to protect the data of both users and the company.

You also need to ensure that your tools and infrastructures are secure to prevent intrusion and malicious acts. This is where penetration testing comes into its own.

Like regular health checks recommended for physical well-being, periodic audits are the key to measuring the security of your information system. They also make it easier to adapt and reinforce security in an ever-changing cyber and digital environment.

A commitment to quality

AlgoSecure places an absolute emphasis on high-quality penetration testing. The company carries out numerous pentests in and around Paris. The most standard processes are automated in order to give greater priority to human analysis and adopt the perspective of attackers capable of exploiting every available opportunity. The in-depth expertise of our consultants is essential for detecting more complex combinations of vulnerabilities, requiring advanced technical skills.

By putting people at the heart of our services, we adopt a pragmatic and relevant approach to penetration testing.

This approach represents real added value for our customers. We pay particular attention to the deliverables submitted at the end of the pentest. This report, written by the two pentesters who worked on the mission and reviewed by a third party, details the vulnerabilities and flaws identified, their level of criticality, the attack scenarios, the applicable detection methods, as well as the remediation strategies to be adopted. It offers a managerial and technical summary of the results of penetration tests and the company's level of security, enriched by a risk assessment.

The scope of penetration testing

The security of your information system is our prime concern. That's why it's vital to define your guidelines clearly and precisely before you start. At this level, two elements are fundamental to the success of a penetration test. The first is the definition of the scope of our intervention: this may include, for example, your main website, your internal network of servers, specific web applications, or even physical infrastructures. Once this scope has been determined, we set the level of information to be provided to our pentesters.

Black-box pentesting

This type of test imitates an external attacker whose only information is the IP address or URL to be audited. The process begins with a passive recognition phase, consisting of gathering publicly accessible information about the target, without any direct interaction with it. It then goes on to identify the services available within the defined perimeter, looking for potential vulnerabilities or exploitable entry points.

Gray-box pentesting

With this approach, our experts have additional information at their disposal, such as user access. In addition to the usual checks, they examine and test the robustness of the access control system to confirm the appropriateness of the privileges assigned to users.

White-box pentesting

In this scenario, the pentesters have access to a much larger amount of information about the application: administrative access and privileges, infrastructure diagrams, even the source code. In addition to running vulnerability tests, detailed analysis and source code auditing are carried out to detect more subtle flaws.

Each of these methodologies has its own importance and specific requirements. Obviously, the choice of one of these depends on the level of risk you wish to assess, your specific objectives, and the organization and maturity of your information system. Once the tests have been carried out, our experts compile their findings in a comprehensive report, giving you a complete and accurate picture of your system's security status, along with recommendations for remedying any vulnerabilities detected.

Our methodological approach

At AlgoSecure, we rigorously follow the standard protocol of the PTES to ensure results that are both reliable and relevant. Here's an overview of our auditing process, illustrated here by a web application:

Perimeter reconnaissance and mapping
The aim of this initial stage is to gather as much information as possible about the application and its entry points. Through an in-depth analysis, we establish a detailed mapping of services, software versions in use and server architecture.

Identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities
During this stage, two specialized auditors work together to optimize vulnerability detection and exploitation. Their complementary nature enables us to identify a wide range of vulnerabilities, understand the conditions under which they can be exploited, and predict the potential consequences of exploiting them.

Reporting and transmission
The findings made during the pentest are summarized in a detailed report. For each vulnerability detected, we specify its degree of criticality (according to the ANSSI scale) and suggest corrective measures, also assessing the ease of implementation.

Presentation of results and dialogue on key findings
At the end of the audit, a constructive exchange takes place between you and our experts. The aim is to present you with our findings, both managerial and technical: an overall vision of the risks identified, an assessment of the severity of the vulnerabilities, the skills required to exploit them, and the complexity of the possible attack vectors. What's more, our experts are on hand to answer any questions you may have, and help you apply the recommendations if necessary.

Paris: infrastructure and economic fabric to protect

Today, cybersecurity is a real issue of sovereignty for France, but also for Europe. With a GDP of nearly 612 billion euros, the Île-de-France region is the richest in Europe, and the world's leading region for tourism. The economic fabric is particularly rich and dense, with first-rate infrastructures, 6 million jobs and over 7,000 companies based in Paris alone.

Paris is also home to the world's 4th-largest business district, Paris La Défense, a particularly dynamic area bringing together a multitude of economic and social players: 180,000 employees, 50,000 residents, 70,000 students and over 3.8 million m² of office space in more than 125 buildings, including 60,000 m² dedicated to coworking spaces and around 500 companies, a third of them CAC40 companies.

In 2024, Paris will host the 2024 Olympic Games, a global sporting event that presents several cybersecurity challenges. Indeed, the organizers have to deal with increasingly sophisticated cyber threats to ensure the security of the Olympic Games. All the more so as previous editions have seen their share of incidents, the Olympics being a prime target for cybercriminals. This was notably the case in Pyeongchang in 2018, but also in Tokyo two years later. Faced with this level of threat, it's all about protecting critical infrastructures, first and foremost communications networks, health services, transport systems, but also sports facilities.

Paris is also the Cyber Campus, a strategic crossroads for cybersecurity, bringing together under one roof the key national and international players in this constantly evolving sector: major companies, SMEs, government departments, training organizations, research players and associations. Its mission? To create a dynamic ecosystem that fosters interaction and collaboration between these different players. Through various initiatives, the Cyber Campus aims to unify and strengthen cybersecurity communication, while stimulating the development of synergies and strategic partnerships.

In such a context, it becomes clear that strengthening cybersecurity in Paris is of strategic importance. We are involved in the cybersecurity sector in France, with a significant presence in Paris and the Île-de-France region. Our close collaboration with institutional bodies such as ANSSI extends both regionally and nationally. We are also actively involved in the IT ecosystem, a commitment that manifests itself through our participation in various influential associations and clubs, notably Hexatrust.
