A Cyberklix senior security engineer performing a penetration test will explore targeted systems with automated tools and manually to uncover existing vulnerabilities.   Further, they will examine the vulnerabilities in depth determining if an how they could potentially be exploited.  Only senior security engineers with extensive experience posses the depth of skill, knowledge of hacking tools, techniques and methods to access systems.  Unlike malicious hackers, Cyberklix security engineers do this without causing damage.  All Cyberklix penetration testers have taken the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) course and passed the certification exam required to conduct penetration tests for Cyberklix .  In addition CEH’s are registered with EC-Council the governing body. 

The senior security engineer works closely with the client to understand which critical servers will be tested.  Typically systems facing the internet are tested.  Common servers subjected to penetration tests are used for data storage, databases, application, web or portals.  Even if vulnerabilities are discovered systems are never compromised, damaged or at any time become unavailable when tested. 

Upon completion of a penetration test the senior engineer will deliver to the client a presentation and comprehensive report containing the exploitable vulnerabilities with accompanying remediation recommendations.
