Pentesting & Vulnerability Assessments

Uncovering hidden vulnerabilities and understanding potential system exploits

Organisations everywhere are continuing their digital transformation programmes. But new, hyper-connected IT and OT technologies have a much larger attack surface than their predecessors. With the objective to avoid exposure to the single point of vulnerability (weakest link of the chain), it’s crucial to locate any potential vulnerabilities in these complex systems before they’re exploited by malicious actors.

Leading the way

Using the same tools and techniques as your adversaries, our vulnerability assessments and pentesting services will reveal your organisation’s true cyber maturity.

Airbus Protect’s personalised approach is what sets us apart. Our penetration tests are tailored to your specific assets and industry. Plus, they don’t just outline what’s wrong, offering a clear and actionable roadmap for how to remedy any gaps and vulnerabilities.
