Why Vonahi Penetration Testing

Four pillars that define platform-powered, human-led security validation

Vonahi-Powered Automation

Built on the Kaseya Vonahi vPenTest platform — combining automated discovery with manual exploitation by certified testers. You get the breadth of platform-driven scanning and the depth of human-led attack simulation.

Manual Exploitation, Real Impact

Automated tools find known vulnerabilities. Our certified testers go further — chaining exploits, abusing business logic, and demonstrating real impact with proof-of-concept evidence an attacker would use.

Unified Kaseya Reporting

Findings flow into the Kaseya Vonahi portal with risk ratings, remediation guidance, and trend tracking — alongside your other Kaseya security modules for a single pane of glass across your security posture.

Continuous Posture Improvement

Re-test within 90 days to verify remediation, track your security posture over time, and demonstrate due diligence to auditors, insurers, and stakeholders with trended metrics.


Testing Capabilities

Eight testing capabilities — click to expand each

Testing your external attack surface — internet-facing systems, public IP addresses, exposed services, and perimeter defences — to identify what an attacker can reach and exploit from the outside.

  • External perimeter testing of internet-facing assets
  • Port scanning and service enumeration
  • Vulnerability exploitation on exposed systems
  • Firewall and perimeter defence evasion testing
  • VPN and remote access service testing

Testing your internal network — simulating an attacker who has breached the perimeter or an insider threat — to identify what they can access, move laterally to, and ultimately compromise.

  • Internal network mapping and host discovery
  • Lateral movement and privilege escalation testing
  • Active Directory and domain controller testing
  • Internal vulnerability exploitation
  • Segmentation and access control testing

Test your wireless infrastructure—Wi-Fi networks, access points, and wireless clients—to identify vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorised access to your network.

  • Wireless encryption testing (WPA2, WPA3)
  • Rogue access point and evil twin detection
  • Wireless authentication bypass testing
  • Guest network isolation testing
  • Wireless client vulnerability testing

Testing your cloud environments — AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud — to identify misconfigurations, exposed resources, IAM weaknesses, and cloud-specific vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit.

  • AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environment testing
  • IAM and access control weakness testing
  • Public storage exposure (S3, Blob) testing
  • Container and Kubernetes security testing
  • Cloud service misconfiguration testing

Deep testing of your web applications — going beyond automated scanning to find business logic flaws, authentication bypasses, and complex vulnerabilities in the OWASP Top 10 and beyond.

  • OWASP Top 10 vulnerability testing
  • Business logic and workflow flaw testing
  • Authentication and session management testing
  • API and microservice security testing
  • Client-side vulnerability testing (XSS, CSRF)

Test the human element—simulated phishing, vishing, and physical social engineering—to assess whether your employees can resist the social engineering techniques attackers use.

  • Simulated phishing and spear-phishing campaigns
  • Vishing (voice phishing) and smishing (SMS) testing
  • Physical access tailgating and impersonation testing
  • USB drop testing (malicious USB devices)
  • Pretexting and baiting scenario testing

Once initial access is achieved, we test how far an attacker can escalate — from standard user to administrator, from local admin to domain admin, and from cloud user to root.

  • Local privilege escalation testing (Windows, Linux)
  • Active Directory privilege escalation testing
  • Cloud IAM privilege escalation testing
  • Kerberoasting and AS-REP roasting
  • Misconfigured service account exploitation

We test how an attacker can move through your network — from a single compromised host to critical systems, databases, and domain controllers — to understand the blast radius of a breach.

  • Network segmentation effectiveness testing
  • Pass-the-hash and pass-the-ticket testing
  • Credential dumping and reuse testing
  • Trust relationship exploitation (forest, domain)
  • Critical asset reachability from compromised hosts

Engagement Models

Three models — scaled to your testing depth and attack surface coverage

A comprehensive network penetration test powered by the Vonahi vPenTest platform, covering your external and internal attack surface. Manual testing by certified testers with automated scanning for coverage. Findings delivered in the Vonahi portal with remediation guidance.

  • External network penetration testing
  • Internal network penetration testing
  • Vonahi vPenTest platform automation
  • Manual testing by certified (OSCP, CREST) testers
  • Vonahi portal report with proof-of-concept
  • Risk ratings and remediation guidance
  • Debrief session with your technical team

Ideal for: Organisations that need a comprehensive network penetration test for compliance, risk assessment, or security validation, powered by the Vonahi platform.

A deeper test that adds wireless network testing, privilege escalation testing, and lateral movement testing to the standard scope. Simulates a full attacker lifecycle from initial access to domain compromise, with Vonahi trended reporting.

  • Everything in Standard, plus:
  • Wireless network penetration testing
  • Privilege escalation testing (local and domain)
  • Lateral movement and blast radius analysis
  • Active Directory security testing

Ideal for: Organisations that want a deeper assessment of their internal network security, including how far an attacker could move after an initial breach, with Vonahi trended metrics.

The full assessment. Includes cloud penetration testing, social engineering testing, and a post-remediation retest. Simulates a real-world attack across all attack surfaces — network, cloud, and human — with compliance mapping and Vonahi posture tracking.

  • Everything in Comprehensive, plus:
  • Cloud penetration testing (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)
  • Social engineering testing (phishing, vishing, physical)
  • Re-test after remediation (within 90 days)
  • Compliance mapping (PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC)

Ideal for: Larger organisations and regulated industries that need testing across all attack surfaces — network, cloud, and human — with compliance mapping, remediation verification, and Vonahi trended posture tracking.

When It Matters

Six scenarios where attack surface management prevents breaches that internal tools miss

Compliance & Audit

Meet penetration testing requirements for PCI DSS (annual), ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC, and HIPAA — with a Vonahi portal report mapped to control objectives and audit-ready evidence.

Security Validation

Validate that your security controls — firewalls, segmentation, endpoint protection, and identity — actually work against a real attacker, not just in theory.

Risk Assessment

Understand your real-world risk — not theoretical risk. See what an attacker can actually access, compromise, and exfiltrate, with a clear blast radius analysis.

M&A Due Diligence

Assess the attack surface of an acquisition target before the deal closes — understanding the cyber risk you would be inheriting before you sign.

Change & Release Validation

Test the security of a new infrastructure, application, or cloud deployment before it goes live — finding vulnerabilities before they are exposed to the internet.

Annual Security Posture

Establish a baseline of your security posture in Vonahi and re-test annually to track improvement, validate remediation, and demonstrate due diligence to stakeholders.
