Identify and Protect Your External Attack Surface

Your internet facing infrastructure represents a highly attractive target-for-hackers as well as automated scanning tools, and other types of attackers. Virtually every asset you make available to the outside world -- web servers, firewalls, VPN, API, or cloud services -- increases your external attack surface.

The major question is not if your systems are being scanned. It is whether you really understand what an attacker can see and exploit. Orasec's external penetration testing service uses the same techniques as the attackers themselves to verify if you have any high-risk vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited, lead to the security incidents.

Being a seasoned external penetration testing firm, Orasec assists companies in lowering their risk, verifying their perimeter defenses, and enhancing their overall cybersecurity resilience.

Orasec External Penetration Testing Services

Orasec provides enterprise grade external penetration testing services to identify and remediate vulnerabilities across all internet facing systems. Our certified experts simulate real world attacks to secure your perimeter, web applications, APIs, and cloud environments.

External Network & Perimeter Testing

Assess firewalls, routers, open ports, and all network devices exposed to the internet. Identify misconfigurations and weaknesses before attackers can exploit them.

Web Application Penetration Testing

Thorough testing of public facing web applications for injection flaws, authentication weaknesses, and business logic vulnerabilities that automated scanners often miss.

API Security Testing

Evaluate REST, GraphQL, and other externally exposed APIs for authentication, authorization, and business logic flaws to prevent API based breaches.

DNS & Domain Recon Assessment

Analyze DNS records, subdomains, and domain configurations to uncover risky exposures, legacy infrastructure, and potential attack paths.

Firewall & Configuration Review

Examine firewall rules, access controls, and boundary protections to ensure proper segmentation and hardened perimeter defenses.

Exploitation Simulation

Safely exploit identified vulnerabilities to confirm real world impact, providing proof of concept evidence for business critical decision making.

Compliance Aligned Assessment Reporting

Receive detailed reports mapped to standards like PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR, supporting audit readiness and regulatory compliance.

Manual & Hybrid Security Testing

Combine automated scans with expert manual penetration testing to uncover complex vulnerabilities that tools alone cannot detect.

OSINT-Driven External Penetration Testing

Orasec external penetration testing takes a fresh approach. It is based on collecting structured open source intelligence long before the first packet is sent. Our expert penetration testers look up and list your entire external footprint — compromised credentials in breach databases, exposed subdomains, forgotten physical infrastructure, shadow IT, and any technology stack information that a potential attacker can find. This phase has regularly exposed critical vulnerabilities of organisations that are considered safe by the automated scans. If the attackers can find it, we find it first.

Continuous External Attack Surface Testing and Monitoring

Your external attack surface is changing all the time. It changes with every new subdomain published, cloud asset misconfiguration, or developer exposing a test environment. The point-in-time external penetration testing results are only relevant for some time. Orasec's continuous external testing includes penetration testing at scheduled intervals along with asset discovery on a continuous basis — exposure identification caused between assessments before attackers find it during your next compliance gap. organisations doing continuous external testing detect potentially harmful vulnerabilities 6 times faster than those relying on annual tests only.

How Threat Actors Target Your External Infrastructure

Cybercriminals continuously scan internet facing systems searching for weaknesses. Every exposed service, subdomain, VPN gateway, API endpoint, and cloud asset expands your external attack surface.

Subdomain enumeration and DNS reconnaissance to map your full footprint

Service fingerprinting to detect vulnerable software versions

Credential spraying against exposed authentication portals

Exploitation of unpatched perimeter devices and web applications

SSL and TLS misconfiguration abuse for interception opportunities

Cloud storage enumeration targeting exposed S3, Azure, or GCP buckets

VPN and remote access exploitation using known vulnerabilities

Orasec’s external penetration testing services simulate these exact techniques to identify exploitable gaps before they lead to compromise.

What Automated Scanners Fail to Identify

Automated tools detect known vulnerabilities. Real attackers identify what is actually exploitable.

As an experienced external penetration testing company, Orasec goes beyond surface level scans to uncover:

  • Business logic flaws that require contextual understanding
  • Chained vulnerabilities that escalate minor issues into critical breaches
  • Authentication bypass through creative parameter manipulation
  • Misconfigurations triggered under specific conditions
  • Timing based flaws and race conditions
  • Context dependent access control failures

Our external penetration test engagements focus on validated exploitation, not theoretical findings.

Strengthen Your Defenses by Thinking Like an Attacker

Effective cybersecurity starts with understanding how adversaries operate. Orasec’s external penetration testing services give you a real world attacker’s perspective, revealing exploitable weaknesses across your perimeter, web applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. By proactively identifying vulnerabilities before attackers do, we help your organization prioritize risk, implement targeted remediation, and maintain continuous security resilience.
