External Infrastructure Testing
Understand how attackers use your external infrastructure against you
Reliance acsn’s External Infrastructure testing assesses your internet-facing infrastructure for vulnerabilities that can then be addressed to reduce your organisation’s attack surface. We simulate attacks to reveal weaknesses in external-facing assets (firewalls, routers, web servers etc.), preventing further penetration and helping you fulfil compliance-related testing requirements.
The unique value in our External Infrastructure Testing
- We see what the attacker sees – Testing is done from the internet, in real-world conditions, so we see you exactly as an attacker would. No simulations or guesswork – just a target!
- We test beyond infrastructure – We don’t just probe infrastructure weaknesses (DNS vhosts, TCP/UDP port scanning, service version enumeration) – we validate the security of the software you are running, too, using vulnerability scanning.
- When we spot it, we prove it – When we detect a vulnerability, we exploit it under controlled conditions to understand exactly how you can defend against the harm it could inflict.
- Human expertise, cutting-edge tech – Together with powerful, specialist vulnerability scanning tools like Nessus and Qualys, our experts manually verify the findings and extensively research publicly disclosed vulnerabilities, to produce comprehensive, actionable outputs.

This trend is real and growing. So, the need to act is clear.” – National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) There could hardly be a clearer assertion of supply chain cyber [...]
