Wireless Penetration Test (WPT)

Service Description

A Wireless Penetration Test assesses the ability of an unauthenticated attacker to bypass the security mechanisms in place to protect a wireless network(s).

The Wireless Penetration assessment provides insight into methods of attack against specific wireless infrastructure components, the likely hood of exploitation and contextualised view of the level of risk to the network(s).

Experienced Activity consultants are able to provide a client with an evaluation of the security of their wireless network and the supporting infrastructure against best practice criteria as well as government and industry standards.

A Wireless Penetration Test differs from a Wireless Security Assessment in that it is narrower in focus; the objective of the engagement is to assess the ability of an unauthenticated attacker to bypass the security mechanisms in place to protect the wireless network(s).  A Wireless Security Assessment is broader in focus and aims to assess all of the devices within a wireless network.

Both wireless assessments are similar in nature, but the Wireless Penetration Test aims to actively exploit vulnerabilities to gain access to sensitive data and systems; whereas a Wireless Security Assessment utilises active exploitation techniques to identify and validate all potential vulnerabilities across all systems within scope.
