Detect

how we help

Regular or continuous testing of your IT environment and cyber security resilience are essential as part of any comprehensive risk management framework to detect potential red flags that may lead to a data compromise.

Just like any Business Continuity Plan (BCP) or Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP), checking your cyber security and testing Incident Response Plans demonstrates how you will respond and recover from a breach and where improvements can be made.

A structured program of penetration testing where networks, websites or other applications are subjected to simulated but authentic attacks, will give clarity to the defence and alert mechanisms in place.

Preventative testing is inward facing but helps you understand how cyber secure your systems and information appear to the outside world.

Undertaking a threat and vulnerability assessment provides clarity on how cyber secure or vulnerable your systems and information appear to attackers and what information is freely available that could be used to compromise your systems and data.

Tabletop Scenario Testing

Much like you test your fire drill response you should practically test your Incident Response Policy.

Ransomware and Business Email Compromise are two of the biggest attacks that business face. But how prepared are you? Do you know who to engage? How quickly can you respond?

The Cyber Collab Tabletop Scenario Testing is designed to simulate a cyber attack to test your response effectiveness. Through a hypothetical attack, stakeholders will respond as if a live situation. Throughout the exercise input is provided that simulates the real life activity of your attacker.

We will assess the performance of stakeholders and provide insight as to the effectiveness of your Incident Response Policy, providing recommendations on any areas for improvement.

Threat & Vulnerability Assessment

Attacks are on the increase, whether it is State sponsored, organised crime or the criminally curious, threats can come from any corner. Not a day goes past where a breach is not reported in to the Australian Signals Directorate. New threats to computer systems are designed and discovered with alarming regularity. Having the ability to detect these threats before they can do damage is critical.

Cyber Collab use a variety of open source intelligence gathering techniques to assist you in understanding what information is available outside of your organisation that could be used to compromise your systems.

Penetration Testing

An essential part of any information security framework is to undertake regular penetration testing of your environment; whether it be an application, website or network. Cyber Collab’s penetration testers will test your system as if under a real cyber attack to determine any areas of vulnerability. At the conclusion of our testing, you will be fully debriefed on our findings and provided with recommendations to further improve information security.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment, an automatic penetration test and a manual penetration test?

A vulnerability assessment identifies potential weaknesses in your systems but doesn’t exploit them.

An automatic penetration test uses software tools to simulate attacks, offering faster results with less detail.

A manual penetration test is conducted by security experts who mimic sophisticated attackers to uncover complex vulnerabilities that automated tools may miss.

Each has its role, depending on the depth of testing and insight your need.

What kinds of penetration tests do you offer?

Cyber Collab offers vulnerability assessments, automatic penetration tests and manual penetration tests.

For details to help you decide whether an automatic or manual penetration test is suited to your needs, take a look here.

Our team will make a recommendation based on your organisation’s maturity, industry compliance needs and on the purpose of the test.

What do penetration tests cover?

Cyber Collab’s penetration tests are a comprehensive review of you attack service, looking at:

Network Penetration Testing: Assessing vulnerabilities in your internal and external networks.
Web Application Testing: Testing for weaknesses in web-facing applications.
Wireless Network Testing: Evaluating the security of Wi-Fi networks.

However, we understand each client’s needs are unique. Should you only require specific elements tested, we will tailor our scope of work accordingly.

How long does a penetration test take?

The duration depends on the scope and complexity of the test but typically ranges from a few days to a few weeks. We will provide a clear timeline during the initial planning phase.

Why is regular penetration testing important to my business?

Cyber threats evolve rapidly, and regular penetration testing helps:

Identify new vulnerabilities.
Validate the effectiveness of your defences.
Demonstrate a proactive approach to cyber security for stakeholders and regulators.

Will penetration testing disrupt my business operations?

No, our penetration tests are designed to minimise disruption. We work with you to schedule tests at convenient times and use methods that ensure your operations remain uninterrupted.

What types of incidents can a tabletop scenario cover?

Tabletop scenarios simulate a variety of incidents, including:

Ransomware attacks
Data breaches
Insider threats
Business email compromise
Supply chain attacks.

These exercises help your team practice decision-making, test your organisation’s protocols and policies, as well as improve response readiness.

Can these services help us meet compliance requirements?

Yes! Many compliance frameworks, such as ISO 27001, PCI DSS and Australian Privacy Act requirements, recommend or mandate penetration testing, vulnerability assessments and incident response readiness exercises.

Cyber Collab provides detailed reports to support your compliance efforts.

How do I know which penetration service my business needs?

Our team will conduct an initial consultation to understand your goals, challenges and current security posture.

Based on this we will recommend the most suitable service or combination of services to address your specific needs.

Do you offer a combined package for these services?

Yes, we can bundle penetration testing, vulnerability assessments and tabletop scenarios into a single package. This approach provides a comprehensive view of your security posture, saving time and resources.
