One of Core Impact’s most valuable features is its certified exploit library. Fortra’s Core Security has a team of expert exploit writers that conduct research, evaluating and prioritizing the most relevant vulnerabilities in order to update the library with critical and useful exploits. Additionally, the QA team creates its own clean environment to validate each exploit before its release to ensure our standards and validate that it is safe and ready to use.
We are thrilled to announce the latest release of Core Impact! Version 21.5 is packed with exciting features and improvements that provide a smoother and even more efficient user experience.
When it comes to a security staple like penetration testing, we all have preconceived notions that make this practice seem quite challenging. The need to rotate vendors, interruptions to normal business, or even testers causing security risks are some that you often hear thrown around. But are they true? The short answer is no.
Penetration testing is a strategy used by organizations to proactively assess the security of their IT environments. It consists of using the same techniques as attackers to discover if there are security vulnerabilities and exploit them in a safe and controlled way. Thus, it helps security professionals determine the risk level to help prioritize remediation of those vulnerabilities.
A pen test can find weaknesses in operating systems, services and application flaws, improper configurations, or risky end-user behavior.
Core Impact's Exploit Library contains thousands of exploits and is updated on an ongoing basis. But how does the team decide which exploits to work on? This page describes the evaluation criteria, including input variables and mechanisms, used to determine which vulnerabilities are good candidates to be analyzed by our Exploit Writing Team.
You may have heard that Core Security’s Core Impact is an enterprise-grade penetration testing solution that uses same tactics and techniques as real-world attacks.
The times, they are a changin', as Bob Dylan would say. It's a time of a lot of global change, leading to dramatic shifts in different industries. Organizations have to be agile and change along with it, all while keeping cybersecurity top of mind.
What’s the point of establishing a baseline if you don’t intend to track your progress? When organizations only run an initial pen test, they are only getting half the picture.
A pen test is used to give a business a baseline idea of how well their systems would stack up against hackers who wanted to exploit vulnerabilities. Once the results are delivered, it’s up to the team to implement those changes. And then –
Some time ago, Core Impact added a module that supports the use BloodHound, a data analysis tool that uncovers hidden relationships within an Active Di
There’s something positive about a healthy degree of fear. It lets us understand our own limitations, heightens our senses, and keeps us alive. The tendency to err on the side of caution was called out in our recent 2023 Penetration Testing Report as a smart practice when it comes to cybersecurity. In fact, though security professionals reported less confidence in their security posture, this loss confidence is a good thing. Overconfidence can blind us to risk and is more of a liability than an asset in cybersecurity.
