Vulnerability & Penetration testing
Identify known vulnerabilities fast, then validate them in the real world. Vulnerability testing and penetration testing to harden your defences.
Lynx Networks offers two types of practical security assessments to reduce cyber risk: vulnerability testing to quickly identify known weaknesses across your systems, and penetration testing to simulate real-world attack paths and validate what matters most.
We’ll help you choose the right approach, then turn findings into clear, prioritised actions that harden your defences and support progress toward standards such as ISO 27001.
What’s the difference?
Vulnerability testing and penetration testing are both methods used to assess the security of an organization’s systems and infrastructure, but there are some differences between the two.
Vulnerability testing is a proactive process that involves the use of automated tools to identify known vulnerabilities in an organization’s systems and applications.
Penetration testing, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive and aggressive form of security testing. It simulates a real-world attack on an organization’s systems and infrastructure, using techniques and tools that a malicious actor might use.
Vulnernability testing
We deliver in-house vulnerability testing to quickly identify known vulnerabilities (CVEs), misconfigurations, and patch gaps across your network and endpoints. It’s fast, repeatable, and low-disruption, giving you clear, prioritised remediation so you can reduce attack surface and strengthen your baseline.
Penetration testing
When you need a deeper, attacker-style assessment, we arrange penetration testing (manual ethical hacking) through our specialist partner. Scoped engagements validate how weaknesses could be exploited in practice and what the real-world impact might be, providing practical assurance and sharper prioritisation for remediation and investment.
