Internal Penetration Testing

Horizon Security Solutions conducts internal penetration tests to simulate a real-world attacker with access to your environment. Our assessments identify attack paths, privilege escalation opportunities, and business-critical weaknesses before they can be exploited.

What Is Internal Penetration Testing?

Internal penetration testing evaluates the security of your organization's internal network from the perspective of an attacker who has already established a foothold. This could include a compromised workstation, a successful phishing attack, malicious insider activity, or unauthorized physical access.

By emulating post-compromise scenarios, we help organizations understand how quickly an attacker can move through their environment and what controls are needed to stop them.

Our Internal Penetration Tests Include

• Active Directory enumeration

• Credential harvesting and password attacks

• Kerberoasting and AS-REP Roasting

• LLMNR/NBT-NS abuse

• Privilege escalation

• Lateral movement

• Domain compromise scenarios

• Internal application testing

• Network segmentation validation

• Identification of sensitive data exposure

Internal Assessments Frequently Uncover

• Weak password policies

• Excessive Active Directory permissions

• Legacy protocols and insecure configurations

• Flat network architectures

• Unpatched internal systems

• Shared local administrator credentials

• Inadequate monitoring and logging

• Unnecessary privileged access
