Key Features
Guided Automation
Core Impact's Rapid Penetration Tests (RPTs) are accessible automations designed to automate common and repetitive tasks. These high-level tests help optimize the use of your security resources by simplifying processes, maximizing efficiency, and enabling pen testers to focus on more complex issues.
Certified Exploits
Leverage our professionally written and validated exploit library for real-world testing capabilities. This stable library of commercial-grade exploits has real-time updates of new penetration testing exploits and tests for additional platforms as they become available, including third party exploits from ExCraft.
Multi-Vector Testing Capabilities
Replicate attacks across network infrastructure, endpoints, web, and applications to reveal exploited vulnerabilities, empowering you to immediately remediate risks.
Integrations
Integrations with other pen testing tools like Metasploit, PowerShell Empire, and Plextrac centralize your testing environment, streamlining and increasing the breadth of your program. Core Impact also integrates with and validates vulnerabilities from more than 20 popular scanners, including Burp Suite, Nessus, Qualys, and OpenVAS to help you prioritize your greatest risks.
Patented Agents
Core Impact’s patented Core Agents simplify interactions with remote hosts. You can tell Core Impact what you’d like to do with the remote host and the agent will take care of the technical aspects.
Robust Error Prevention
Enable programmable self-destruct capabilities for agents at different levels (product, workspace, module/RPT). This means no agent is left behind after testing to drain resources or be used as a potential backdoor for attackers.
Teaming
Multiple security testers have the capability to interact in the same session, giving teams the ability to securely share data and delegate testing tasks. These shared workspaces provide a common view of discovered and compromised network targets for optimal collaboration.
Who We Support
Common Use Cases
Automate the Routine
With Core Impact, you can easily automate routine testing, including proving PCI compliance, to maximize your resources, reserving third-party testing for most robust and complex requests.
Give Your Vulnerability Scans an Ally
Core Impact validates vulnerabilities identified through more than 20 popular scanners, helping you prioritize remediation for your greatest security risks.
Measure Security Awareness
Easily simulate a phishing campaign using Core Impact’s dynamic tools to find out who is vulnerable to social engineering attacks.
Validate Remediation Effectiveness
Re-test exploited systems after a penetration test to verify that remediation measures or compensating controls are effective and working.
“What takes us three hours to do manually takes ten minutes with an automated tool like Core Impact, so it makes my day easier."
