What Makes a JANUS Standard or Advanced Pen Test Better?
STANDARD PENETRATION TESTING
JANUS utilizes industry-recognized tools and best practices coupled with proprietary methodologies that continuously evolve as the threat landscape changes. Our Testing team is comprised of senior-level personnel each with at least 8 years of experience. No juniors, no B-team, no BS. Our clients tell us that a JANUS report is the most comprehensive yet easiest-to-understand report they have ever received.
We practice a “No Gotcha” policy and never point fingers. Our goal is to give you accurate and actionable information devoid of false positives. We work closely with you to improve your security posture, and since we don’t sell any hardware or software, we never look to find problems (or create them) as a means to sell you something else.
Think about it; how many times have you received a report that says something like your firewalls are end-of-life, and the next thing you know, the salesperson is saying, “Have I got a firewall for you!” You will never hear that from JANUS, we are honest, ethical, and here to offer you sound advice and that is why our clients are some of the most recognizable entities in the public and private sectors including:
- Federal, State, and Municipal Government Agencies
- Commercial Entities
- Healthcare
- Legal Services
- Banking and Financial
- Critical Infrastructure
- K-12 and Higher Education
- Non-Profits
ADVANCED PENETRATION TESTING
Lots of companies offer Penetration Testing, external, internal, and even web application testing. Very few offer truly advanced penetration testing, but JANUS takes it substantially beyond the conventional.
JANUS Advanced Penetration Testing services utilize tools and techniques that most firms don’t even know exist. These specialized tools are available only to government agencies and select security consultancies and are the same tools that cybercriminals and nation-states are using in ongoing attacks, worldwide.
Requirements to obtain this technology are stringent and those wishing to obtain it are thoroughly vetted. Requirements include longevity in the industry (JANUS has been in business since 1988), levels of employee certification and experience, size and sophistication of clients, testing of potential users by the vendor, and a very strict licensing agreement that speaks to when and how the application will be used. The entire vetting process takes upwards of 6 to 8 weeks and most firms fail.
These Advanced Penetration Testing tools and techniques allow our team to evade detection of most intrusion detection systems and in doing so gives JANUS testers a foothold within the network. This foothold allows us to silently surveil the network undetected as we probe for additional weaknesses and areas we can pivot to.
