About Vonahi Security

Vonahi Security sells vPenTest, an automated network penetration testing SaaS platform. vPenTest is a scripted network penetration testing platform that runs the exact same steps and processes performed by a security consultant doing a live pentest. vPenTest is a full-scale penetration testing platform that incorporates the knowledge, methodologies, techniques and commonly used tools of multiple consultants into a single platform. vPenTest covers host discovery, service enumeration, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, post-exploitation, privilege escalation and lateral movement, as well as documentation and reporting.^[3]

Vonahi Security describes traditional security assessment as outsourced consultants providing manual testing, mostly as a once a year test.^[6]

With vPenTest, a customer deploys an agent, schedules an internal assessment and receives detailed reports within a few days. Customers of vPenTest control the schedule, frequency and scope of every assessment. vPenTest lets a customer schedule an internal or external network penetration test anytime it is needed. vPenTest can perform pre- and post-breach simulations at any time within both the internal and external network environments. vPenTest generates a report for the customer and its team to review within 48 hours after the penetration test is complete. vPenTest reports show trending data, which lets a team see improvements from one month to another.^[7][9]

Host discovery in vPenTest covers systems and services within the targeted environment, including active systems and port scanning. vPenTest enumerates services and systems to identify potentially valuable information, including vulnerability analysis. vPenTest launches attacks against vulnerable services, including password-based attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, relay attacks and more. After gaining an initial foothold on a system, vPenTest automatically attempts to launch privilege escalation attacks.

Network teams can correlate vPenTest activities with their SIEM and incident response procedures. vPenTest has a progress tracker that shows the IT team the progress of the engagement, when it is expected to be completed and any preliminary findings. Vonahi Security provides flexibility in schedule, alerting and real-time activity tracking, and segmentation testing to confirm isolation of sensitive networks. Vonahi Security performs penetration testing against a network environment and compares its activities with the customer's monitoring and alerting controls, so the organization can assess its technical security controls against malicious attackers from multiple perspectives.^[3][4]

Vonahi Security positions vPenTest for MSPs that offer network penetration testing to SMB clients. Vonahi Security also positions vPenTest for internal IT teams that evaluate cybersecurity risks in real-time.^[3][8]
