Network, infrastructure, applications and APIs, mobile, wireless and phishing all fail differently. Vectra brings those specialist testing disciplines together in one Australian-delivered offensive security service—using experienced testers, manual-led techniques and clear remediation advice.
A web application test is not a network test with a browser. A wireless test is not simply a vulnerability scan of access points. Each attack surface needs different tooling, expertise, test cases and evidence.
Vectra scopes the engagement around the system being tested, the attacker perspective you want to simulate and the business or compliance outcome you need.
The aim is not to generate the longest vulnerability list. It is to prove which weaknesses can actually be used and what they mean to the organisation.
External and internal attack paths through exposed services, network controls, remote access and reachable systems.
Servers, identity services, operating systems, configuration and internal infrastructure security.
Web applications, portals, APIs, authentication, authorisation, sessions and business logic.
iOS and Android application behaviour, local storage, transport, APIs and platform-specific controls.
Wi-Fi security, authentication, encryption, segmentation, rogue access and wireless attack paths.
Controlled social-engineering campaigns that test user behaviour and the defensive controls surrounding email.
Network penetration testing examines externally or internally reachable services, devices and trust relationships to identify where an attacker could gain access, move laterally or reach sensitive systems.
Internet-facing exposure, new offices, network redesigns, remote access, compliance validation, major infrastructure changes or an independent check of perimeter controls.
Infrastructure testing focuses on servers, operating systems, identity and supporting technology. It is particularly useful where the risk sits inside the environment rather than on a single public-facing service.
Infrastructure refreshes, Active Directory or identity reviews, segmentation projects, new server platforms, cloud migrations, sensitive internal environments or post-remediation validation.
Application testing examines how users authenticate, what they can access, how data is processed and where business logic can be abused. Vectra can test web applications, customer portals, internal applications and APIs.
New applications, major releases, internet-facing portals, customer data, payment environments, new APIs, authentication changes, pre-production assurance or recurring security testing.
Mobile application testing looks at how iOS and Android apps store information, authenticate users, communicate with backend services and resist manipulation on the device.
Customer-facing mobile apps, apps handling credentials or regulated data, mobile payment workflows, new releases, API changes or assurance before app-store deployment.
Wireless testing examines Wi-Fi authentication, encryption, access-point configuration and segmentation to determine whether an attacker within radio range can obtain unauthorised access or bypass intended trust boundaries.
Office moves, new Wi-Fi deployments, guest wireless, corporate wireless, sensitive facilities, compliance obligations or concern about segmentation between wireless and internal networks.
Controlled phishing simulations help organisations understand user behaviour and whether email, identity, monitoring and escalation controls work together when a realistic social-engineering attempt reaches the workforce.
Security-awareness validation, targeted high-risk teams, executive populations, email-security tuning, incident-response exercises or an independent benchmark of human and technical controls.
Each specialist test uses attack-surface-specific techniques, but the engagement still follows Vectra’s established methodology so scoping, exploitation, evidence and reporting remain consistent.
A concise view of material risks, attack paths and the overall security outcome for decision-makers.
Clear evidence, affected assets, severity, reproduction detail and enough context for engineering teams to act.
Recommendations ordered around meaningful risk rather than simply the number of findings.
Validate agreed remediation so closed findings are supported by evidence rather than assumption.
Vectra’s penetration testers work across a wide range of industries and environments, with Australian delivery and access to the wider Vectra security practice when testing uncovers issues that need compliance, incident response or remediation support.
Network penetration testing focuses on reachable network services, devices, remote access and attack paths through the network. Infrastructure penetration testing goes deeper into servers, operating systems, identity, configuration, privilege and internal trust relationships. The scopes often overlap, so Vectra will define the most useful engagement based on the environment.
Yes. Application testing can include web applications and their supporting APIs. API testing typically examines authentication, authorisation, object access, data exposure, input handling and abuse of business logic.
Yes. Vectra can scope testing for iOS and Android applications, including the application itself, local data, transport security, authentication and the backend services the mobile app uses.
No. Phishing testing is a controlled assessment used to measure user behaviour and supporting technical controls. Awareness training is an education programme. The results of a phishing test can help identify where targeted training or technical improvements are needed.
Yes. Combined scopes are often useful where an attacker could move between layers, such as an external network test followed by an internal infrastructure test, or a web application and API test performed together.
Yes. Vectra delivers its penetration testing services in Australia using experienced offensive-security specialists.
Yes. Vectra is a CREST-accredited penetration testing provider.
