Internal Network Pentesting

NetSPI » PTaaS » Network » Internal Network

NetSPI experts identify threats within your internal network with actionable guidance that helps you meet PCI DSS & NIST SP 800-53 compliance requirements.

 

Comprehensive Internal Network Security Testing

Internal penetration testing is crucial for identifying weaknesses within an organization’s internal network. By simulating realistic attack scenarios, NetSPI’s internal network penetration testing reveals vulnerabilities like excessive user privileges, unpatched systems, and poorly secured communication channels. Our network security testing also helps to uncover misconfigurations in firewalls, routers, or security policies that could allow unauthorized access to sensitive data or critical systems.

What do NetSPI Internal Network Assessments test for?

NetSPI’s approach to internal network penetration testing is based on best practices, including NIST SP 800-53, PCI DSS, OWASP Top 10, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Common internal pentesting methodologies include privilege escalation, lateral movement, identifying weak access controls, and evaluating the effectiveness of internal security policies. The scope of our testing scales to match your internal network infrastructure, including workstations, servers, and intranet applications.

Continuous Internal Network Pentesting

NetSPI’s continuous internal penetration testing reveals weaknesses within your internal network by simulating realistic attack scenarios that uncover excessive user privileges, unpatched systems, misconfigured firewalls, and security policy gaps. Built on NIST SP 800-53, PCI DSS, OWASP Top 10, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework, testing covers privilege escalation, lateral movement, Active Directory vulnerabilities, and network segmentation.

  • Testing for excessive user privileges, unpatched systems, misconfigured firewalls, security policy gaps.
  • Built on NIST SP 800-53, PCI DSS, OWASP Top 10, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
  • Confirms risk with human validation, demonstrating how vulnerabilities can be combined.
  • Delivers findings through a centralized platform with clear, actionable recommendations for remediation.

Agentic MCP Platform Integrations

  • By tapping into validated vulnerability data and engagement context, your agentic systems can utilize our MCP service to automate risk-based decisions and workflows.
  • Integrate NetSPI data into broader security and IT workflows, allowing agents to automatically create tickets, enrich alerts, or update systems of record.
  • Extend the reach of your security team by enabling your agents to handle repetitive analysis and coordination tasks across large volumes of NetSPI findings.

NetSPI AI Powers Continuous Pentesting

  • Unlike generic AI solutions, NetSPI’s AI is specifically designed to address the unique challenges of modern cybersecurity testing.
  • AI accelerates data processing, reconnaissance, and pattern recognition. It allows us to continuously map your attack surface with incredible speed, freeing human experts to focus on high-impact strategic analysis.
  • Each test expands our knowledge base. Every vulnerability discovered helps refine how we approach the next environment. And every new testing scenario strengthens our AI, making future engagements smarter, faster, and more comprehensive.

The New NetSPI Platform Experience

  • Get answers to critical security questions faster, aligned to role and priorities
  • Manage integrations, scans, and agents in one centralized workflow
  • Accelerate detection, prioritization, and remediation across the attack surface
  • Clearly demonstrate security outcomes to technical and executive stakeholders
