Hire Penetration Testers | Nearshore Software Development
Penetration testing, or ethical hacking, is the practice of testing a computer system, network, or web application to find security vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. You need an expert who can think like an attacker and help you identify and fix your security weaknesses before they are exploited. Our vetting process, powered by Axiom Cortex™, finds ethical hackers who are masters of their craft. We test their ability to perform comprehensive penetration tests, to clearly document their findings, and to provide actionable remediation advice.
The Problem
You may have security tools and policies in place, but without a real-world test, you have no way of knowing if they are actually effective against a determined attacker.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We vet for ethical hackers who can provide you with a realistic assessment of your security posture. They must demonstrate the ability to simulate a real-world attack and to identify the vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker.
The Problem
A penetration test report that is just a list of CVEs is not very helpful. You need to understand the business impact of each vulnerability and how to prioritize your remediation efforts.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our penetration testers are proficient in communicating risk. They are vetted on their ability to write clear, actionable reports that explain the business impact of each finding and provide concrete steps for remediation.
The Problem
A modern enterprise has a vast attack surface, including mobile apps, cloud infrastructure, and internal networks. Focusing only on web application testing leaves you blind to other critical vulnerabilities.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our experts are full-stack penetration testers. We vet for experience across a wide range of domains, including mobile application security (iOS, Android), network penetration testing, and cloud security configuration reviews (AWS, GCP, Azure), providing a holistic view of your security posture.
The Problem
Once a vulnerability is found and a fix is deployed, how do you know the fix is effective and didn't introduce a new vulnerability? Without a re-testing and validation process, you may still be at risk.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We hire testers who understand the full lifecycle. They are experts in performing re-testing and regression testing to validate that security fixes are effective and have not introduced new issues, ensuring a continuous improvement in your security posture.
How We Measure Seniority: From L1 to L4 Certified Expert
