Penetration Testing

Beyond Vulnerabilities, Toward Attack Paths
Tracing the links beyond individual vulnerabilities, we verify the paths an attacker could actually use to break in
Thinking Like an Attacker
Penetration Testing validates security vulnerabilities against real attacker tactics and intrusion scenarios, revealing what is actually exploitable and what to fix first.

Complex Attack Paths, Untested Defenses
Unknown intrusion paths and unverified defenses
Business Logic Blind Spots
- Automated assessments struggle to identify design flaws within normal flows, such as payment bypass or privilege misuse.
- Actually exploitable scenarios must be verified in advance through experts' manual, in-depth analysis.
Chained Vulnerabilities, Unclear Impact
- A list of vulnerabilities has been secured, but it is difficult to judge whether an attacker could connect them to move into the internal network or reach core assets.
- By reproducing a real attacker's intrusion scenario, the potential for chained attacks and the business impact must be verified in concrete terms.
Unvalidated Security Controls
- Security solutions and a vulnerability management framework are in operation, but it is difficult to be certain that detection and blocking work properly in an actual attack situation.
- Through penetration testing, the potential to bypass detection, gaps in response processes, and the limits of controls must be confirmed to strengthen practical defensive capabilities.
Real-world Attack Path Validation
Validating actual intrusion paths and strengthening defenses
What is Penetration Testing?
Penetration testing is the activity of legally verifying the security risks of infrastructure, web, apps, internal networks, and AI services based on scenarios from a real attacker's perspective. Beyond simple technical assessment, it analyzes complex intrusion paths and the potential for AI service misuse, and confirms the effectiveness of the defensive framework in operation.
Attack Path Visibility
Through scenario-based intrusion that chains complex vulnerabilities, it clarifies the reachability of core assets and the intrusion flow—difficult to confirm through a single assessment—helping to grasp real risk.
Defense Validation
Under Real Attack Conditions
Based on advanced attack scenarios, it examines the potential to bypass detection, blocking performance, and gaps in response procedures together to confirm the defensive strength across the entire security stack.
Business Impact-based Risk Prioritization
Rather than merely listing the number of vulnerabilities, it analyzes the impact that real risks would have on the enterprise based on business impact and presents the key tasks to resolve first.
Hybrid Penetration Testing Process
Penetration testing process combining automated assessment with expert analysis
01
Scoping & Strategy Development
- Defining the assessment scope and key targets based on the customer's business characteristics and risk priorities
- Analyzing externally exposed assets and infrastructure structure to identify the potential attack surface that could become an attacker's entry point
02
Hybrid Penetration Testing
- Combining the speed of automated scanning with security experts' manual assessment to perform hybrid penetration testing from the attacker's perspective
- Analyzing business logic flaws, potential privilege misuse, and structural vulnerabilities that are difficult to identify with automated tools alone
03
Deep-dive Analysis & Impact Assessment
- Verifying the exploitability of identified vulnerabilities through scenario-based intrusion that reflects real attack techniques
- Analyzing the practical threat impact and ripple effect of each vulnerability, considering the system structure and operating environment
04
Remediation & Reporting
- Providing a risk-based results report that includes experts' in-depth analysis and actual intrusion path data
- Presenting improvement directions and remediation priorities for each vulnerability, applicable to development and operating environments
05
Risk Validation & Retesting
- Confirming the vulnerability remediation process and the status of security patch application, and supporting technical improvements
- Performing targeted re-assessment to confirm whether the initially identified security flaws have been resolved, and confirming the final risk status
Intelligence-led Attack
Path Validation
Threat intelligence-based intrusion path validation
Validated Paths, Not Assumed Risk
Intelligent cyber threats can bypass conventional, standardized defense frameworks. By linking ASM-based asset identification with intrusion analysis from the attacker's perspective, S2W verifies the paths through which fragmented vulnerabilities could lead to actual business threats.
Identification of exposed assets and attack paths
Identifying externally exposed assets and potential attack paths based on ASM insights
Assessment of exploitability and impact
Assessing exploitability and enterprise-wide impact through chained analysis of complex vulnerabilities
Business-Impact-Based Prioritization
Presenting business impact-based security improvement priorities and resource allocation directions

Expert Testing with Threat Intelligence
Actual attacks do not end with a single vulnerability—they expand intrusion paths by combining exposed assets, account information, vulnerabilities, and system structure. By combining threat intelligence analysis capabilities with security experts' manual verification, S2W analyzes practical intrusion paths and their impact.
