Core Impact

Core Impact automates routine testing to help your organization utilize their cybersecurity resources more efficiently.  Scheduled, automatic testing lets your cybersecurity team focus on more complicated and in-depth security initiatives. 

Measure security awareness with Core Impact’s ransomware simulator and dynamic phishing capabilities.  Find what critical data is at risk and which employees are susceptible to an attack.  

When combined with a Vulnerability Management solution like Frontline VM, Core Impact validates and helps prioritize the highest security vulnerability risks for remediation. 

Validate remediation by re-testing.  Make sure weaknesses are corrected and the system controls are working properly after a fix. 

Security teams of any experience level can use Core Impact.  Advanced users can automate tests and free up their time to do more hands-on, complex testing.  New users can utilize intuitive set-ups to quickly get a security testing program up and running. 

Core Impact and Cobalt Strike work together well, but also have different uses. 

Cobalt Strike is a tool that’s used by red teams to simulate a real-world attack.  More than penetration testing, Cobalt Strike emulates a long-term embedded threat actor within a network.  

Core Impact is penetration testing that evaluates security vulnerabilities.  This tool observes and reports, unsecured paths within security measures that can be used by malicious actors to access sensitive data.  It can also be used by red teams as part of their simulated attack arsenal. 

Core Impact exploits are commercial-grade, validated exploits written by trusted experts.  These libraries are specifically created and validated to ensure safety of use and effectiveness. There’s no delay for updates or starting from the beginning.  Core Impact researchers keep these libraries up to date and use a meticulous vetting process to ensure that outside entities haven’t tampered with the library for malicious gain.  

Core Impact does not use an open-source exploit library. Open-source vulnerability exploit libraries can be written by the public, posted for public use, and distributed for anyone and everyone to use and therefore may not be secure or validated.       

Core Impact itself has tiered pricing based on users and features.  Select from the Basic, Pro, and Enterprise levels of coverage:

• Core Impact Basic is $9,450 per year and has everything you need to get your penetration testing program moving with automated network testing.
• Core Impact Pro is $12,600 per year and helps expand your penetration program with network and client side testing capabilities.
• Core Impact Enterprise pricing is based on organizational size and includes the full capabilities of Core Impact, including automated network, client side, web application, and mobile testing. 

Core Impact can also be combined with other offensive security options for a reduced price.   

Advanced Bundle  

Core Impact and Cobalt Strike together help organizations assess their security weaknesses by providing pen testing and red team adversary simulation. Both empower teams to perform valuable security testing to identify weaknesses and at-risk data.  

Essentials Bundle 

Core Impact and Frontline Vulnerability Management, two security tools that work well together to evaluate business critical networks and organizational infrastructure for cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This combination works well together, by pairing the scanning and detection of a vulnerability manager and the ability for a pen test to exploit those vulnerabilities, help determine which weaknesses are exploitable. 

Elite Bundle 

Core Impact, Cobalt Strike, and Frontline Vulnerability Management work in-sync to create a blanket security portfolio that evaluates, identifies, and prioritizes vulnerabilities and their potential impact. They all have the same goal in mind, proactively assessing risk, each with a different vulnerability testing and management position. 

Core Impact utilizes rapid penetration testing. This automated pen test includes vectors that cover networks, client-side testing, and web application tests.  One-step network and web application penetration tests have single steps that complete the test and then provide detailed reports afterwards. 

Using an automated Rapid Pen Test and including a phishing campaign, Core Impact can efficiently simulate a ransomware attack.  Security teams can mimic ransomware behavior from multiple types of ransomware. There is an option to revert the security environment to its original state prior to the simulated attack.  Encrypted file trips also give the defensive team a chance to detect and enable countermeasures to combat the simulated attack. This simulator even has the capability to leave a ransom note, so security teams can train on how ransomware acts from start to finish. 

Penetration testing is a necessary component to staying within compliance and regulatory standards. Core Impact helps protect sensitive data and adhere to these directives. Using automated penetration testing, organizations can schedule regular tests, whether standard, simple tests or more complex in-depth tests, and afterwards generate detailed reports for auditing purposes. These methods stay in compliance with most industry standards, such as PCI, CMMC, NIST, and more. 

Vulnerability scanners can uncover thousands of weaknesses within a cybersecurity system. A vulnerability scanner searches for potential security weak points that can be used by cyber attackers. Penetration testing can test these possible breach points to see if they can be exploited. 

Core Impact can integrate with the most popular vulnerability scanners, including Frontline VM. Together, they prioritize high-risk vulnerabilities, test to see which are viable exploits, generate detailed reports for remediation, and automate retesting to ensure remediation efforts were successful.
