Simulate real-world attacks. Identify vulnerabilities. Strengthen your defences.
Your network is the backbone of your organisation’s digital infrastructure, but it’s also a prime target for cyber adversaries. At Aurian Security, our Network Penetration Testing service simulates real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Whether you’re hosting services on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments, our expert team uncovers security gaps that automated scans miss, providing actionable insights to reduce risk and strengthen your defences.
What We Test
Our network penetration testing covers a wide range of technical risks across internal and external environments. We assess the effectiveness of your security controls, uncover misconfigurations, and identify paths an attacker could exploit to compromise your infrastructure.
Perimeter Security - Testing your firewalls, VPNs, and exposed services for external threats.
Internal Networks - Identifying how attackers could move laterally inside your network.
Network Protocols and Segmentation - Checking if internal boundaries effectively limit access.
Credential Security - Assessing password policies, authentication, and domain trust.

External Network
Your external network is the first line of defence against attackers, and the most visible target. Our External Network Penetration Testing simulates real-world threat actors attempting to breach your internet-facing infrastructure. This includes systems such as firewalls, VPNs, web servers, mail servers, and remote access portals.
We assess for common and advanced vulnerabilities such as open ports, weak authentication mechanisms, exposed services, and misconfigurations. Our methodology goes beyond automated scans to identify complex exploit chains that could allow unauthorised access or data exfiltration.
Our expert team provides clear reporting with risk-based prioritisation and remediation advice tailored to your environment. Whether you’re looking to meet compliance requirements or simply strengthen your external posture, we help ensure your perimeter is as secure as possible.
Internal Network
Internal network testing is designed to simulate a threat actor who has gained initial access — such as through phishing, physical breach, or a compromised device. This test focuses on how far an attacker could move laterally within your internal environment, and what level of access they could gain.
We examine internal protocols, service configurations, workstation and server security, segmentation controls, and Active Directory structure. Techniques such as privilege escalation, token impersonation, and pass-the-hash attacks are used to uncover real business risks, not just technical flaws.
This assessment is ideal for organisations looking to improve their defence-in-depth strategy. Our reporting outlines practical ways to reduce attack paths, secure privileged accounts, and contain potential breaches from the inside out.
Wireless Network
Wireless networks often represent a hidden risk to organisations, especially in office or campus environments where signal bleed and weak configurations can be exploited from outside the premises. Our Wireless Network Penetration Testing service identifies and evaluates those risks from an attacker’s perspective.
We test for weaknesses such as insecure encryption protocols (e.g. WPA/WEP), rogue access points, weak PSKs, MAC spoofing, captive portal bypass, and poor segmentation between Wi-Fi and corporate LANs. Where applicable, we attempt to gain internal access through wireless compromise.
Our approach helps ensure that your wireless access points and security controls meet best practices and regulatory requirements. Whether used by staff, guests, or BYOD devices, we help you keep wireless access secure without sacrificing usability.
