Shielded Networks Penetration Testing Your Shield, Forged from Your Vulnerabilities
In the face of escalating cyber threats, the exposure of sensitive data is a top concern. Shielded Networks helps you proactively manage this risk. Our penetration testing services simulate sophisticated attacks to pinpoint the vulnerabilities that could lead to a breach.
You are protected by a unique blend of robust methodologies and highly-skilled professionals—our government-cleared experts are equipped with the latest offensive security knowledge.
We don’t just hand you a report; we translate findings into a strategic roadmap, guiding you to a stronger, more resilient security posture.
Beyond just identifying weaknesses, Our team interprets the results and provides clear guidance to help you strengthen your security posture and protect your sensitive information.
Our methodology includes:
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Collection
Gather publicly available information from search engines, public repositories, social media, DNS records, WHOIS data, and other open sources to identify potential attack vectors
Public-Facing Server Enumeration
Identify and enumerate exposed services such as web servers, mail servers, DNS servers, and other internet-facing infrastructure to assess potential misconfigurations and vulnerabilities
Access Control Testing
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to network resources by testing authentication mechanisms, privilege boundaries, and identity-related weaknesses
Perimeter Security Evaluation
Assess the effectiveness of firewalls, routers, and gateway security controls by attempting to bypass filtering rules, segmentation boundaries, and intrusion prevention mechanisms.
Vulnerability Identification and Exploitation
Discover and exploit vulnerabilities within systems and applications to validate real-world risk and determine the extent of unauthorized access achievable
Privilege Escalation Attempts
Attempt to elevate access to administrative or root-level privileges across compromised systems to assess the impact of a full-system compromise
Sensitive Data Access Assessment
Identify and access critical data stores—including configuration files, employee information, and confidential business documents—to evaluate data exposure risks
Post-Exploitation & Pivoting
Use compromised hosts to move laterally within the environment, escalate access, and identify additional targets, simulating the tactics of an advanced attacker
At Shielded Networks, we deliver penetration testing services with precision, depth, and a proven methodology designed to uncover real-world vulnerabilities before adversaries can exploit them. Our advantage lies in a combination of technical expertise, industry-aligned frameworks, and a customer-centric approach that ensures every assessment provides actionable security value.
Comprehensive Threat Simulation
We emulate real attacker techniques—across network, application, cloud, and endpoint layers—to give you an accurate picture of your true security posture
Expert-Led, Framework-Aligned Testing
Our assessments follow leading standards such as OWASP, NIST, and PTES, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and industry-recognized rigor
Zero-Noise, High-Impact Reporting
We deliver clear, prioritized findings with remediation steps that your technical teams can implement immediately, minimizing downtime and maximizing risk reduction
Tailored Engagements for Your Environment
Every organization is different. We adjust our approach based on your business operations, industry regulations, and critical assets to ensure precise and relevant results
Continuous Partnership, Not One-Time Testing
Beyond the test, we support your teams with advisory sessions, security hardening guidance, and validation testing to ensure long-term resilience
