Network Penetration Testing
Internal and external network infrastructure testing — identifying exploitable vulnerabilities in firewalls, routers, switches, VPNs, Active Directory, and segmentation controls before attackers do.
Saudi Arabia's threat landscape is evolving faster than most organizations can respond. CyberSilo delivers CREST-aligned VAPT services — network, web, mobile, cloud, and red team penetration testing — structured for NCA ECC, SAMA CSF, and PDPL compliance. Find your exploitable gaps before a real attacker does.
The Kingdom's Vision 2030 digital transformation has expanded the attack surface for every sector — government, banking, healthcare, energy, and manufacturing. NCA data shows cyber incidents targeting Saudi organizations increased by over 38% in 2024 alone. GCC-region threat actors don't wait for you to find your vulnerabilities first.
VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) is the only way to know with certainty where your exploitable exposures exist — and what a real attacker could do with them. Unlike automated scanning, a professional VAPT engagement uses the same techniques, tools, and intelligence as the threat actors targeting your sector. The result: a verified, prioritized list of gaps with remediation guidance that maps directly to your NCA ECC, SAMA CSF, and PDPL obligations.
CyberSilo's KSA-present team performs VAPT across all attack surfaces — network, web, mobile, cloud, OT/ICS, and human — delivering bilingual reports structured for Saudi regulatory submissions from day one. Understand your real risk. Fix it. Prove it to regulators.
CyberSilo performs penetration testing across all attack surfaces relevant to Saudi organizations — from external network infrastructure to OT/ICS environments supporting Vision 2030 mega-projects.
Internal and external network infrastructure testing — identifying exploitable vulnerabilities in firewalls, routers, switches, VPNs, Active Directory, and segmentation controls before attackers do.
Full OWASP Top 10 coverage — SQL injection, XSS, IDOR, broken authentication, API misconfigurations, and business logic flaws tested across your customer-facing and internal web applications.
iOS and Android application security testing — covering insecure data storage, improper session management, reverse engineering, certificate pinning bypass, and backend API security.
Comprehensive assessment of AWS, Azure, and GCP environments — IAM misconfigurations, publicly exposed buckets, insecure serverless functions, container escapes, and cloud-native attack paths.
Adversary simulation engagements modeled on real threat actors targeting KSA organizations — testing your detection, response, and containment capabilities under realistic attack conditions.
Specialized penetration testing for SCADA, DCS, PLCs, and industrial IoT environments — covering IT/OT boundary weaknesses, historian server exposures, and remote access exploitation.
Simulated phishing campaigns, vishing attacks, pretexting, and physical intrusion testing — measuring your employees' resilience to human-layer manipulation before real attackers test it first.
WPA2/WPA3 attacks, rogue access point detection, RFID badge cloning, physical access control testing, and BlueTooth/IoT device exploitation across your facilities.
Every CyberSilo VAPT engagement is scoped and reported to support the specific compliance frameworks your Saudi regulators and auditors require. No manual remapping. No custom evidence packaging. Ready to submit from day one.
Saudi Arabia's mandatory baseline cybersecurity framework. CyberSilo VAPT deliverables directly map to ECC technical controls (ECC-1-1 through ECC-3-2) and provide audit-ready evidence packages for NCA submissions.
Mandatory for all SAMA-regulated financial institutions in KSA. Our pen testing scope and reporting align to SAMA CSF's vulnerability management and threat intelligence domains — simplifying your annual SAMA assessments.
Saudi Arabia's data protection legislation enforced by SDAIA. VAPT identifies vulnerabilities that could expose personal data — directly supporting your PDPL Article 19 security obligation and breach prevention posture.
Penetration testing is a core control under ISO 27001 Annex A.12.6. CyberSilo VAPT reports provide the technical evidence required for ISO 27001 certification and annual surveillance audits.
PCI DSS Requirement 11.3 mandates annual penetration testing. CyberSilo performs PCI-scoped VAPT covering your cardholder data environment (CDE) — with segmentation validation testing included.
Penetration testing supports the availability and confidentiality trust services criteria. CyberSilo VAPT findings integrate directly into your SOC 2 risk treatment documentation.
VAPT supports the Identify and Protect functions of NIST CSF. CyberSilo maps all findings to NIST CSF subcategories, enabling executive risk reporting aligned to a globally recognized framework.
Required for energy, manufacturing, and utility operators in KSA. CyberSilo's OT penetration testing is structured to validate IEC 62443 zone and conduit segmentation and SL (Security Level) attestation.
Saudi Arabian organizations face simultaneous pressure from regulators who mandate VAPT, threat actors who actively probe KSA targets, and boards demanding proof of security posture. The business risks of delaying or avoiding penetration testing are quantifiable — and growing.
NCA's enforcement authority and SAMA's supervisory guidelines allow for penalties exceeding SAR 5 million for regulated organizations that fail to demonstrate adequate technical security controls. VAPT is explicitly referenced in both NCA ECC and SAMA CSF as a required technical safeguard — meaning organizations without periodic penetration testing face direct regulatory exposure, not just theoretical risk.
Threat actors targeting Saudi banks, government entities, and energy companies average 197 days of undetected access in environments that lack regular penetration testing and behavioral monitoring. During that window, credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and ransomware staging occur invisibly. VAPT shortens attacker dwell time by finding and closing the entry points before they're exploited.
A 2024 KSA cybersecurity sector survey found that 73% of breached organizations discovered their primary attack vector — an unpatched system, misconfigured cloud resource, or weak credential — only after the breach was detected. VAPT inverts this timeline: your team finds the gap first, with remediation guidance, before it becomes a regulatory incident or a board-level crisis.
IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach report places the global average at $4.88M. Middle East breach costs exceed the global average — driven by high remediation costs, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage in concentrated markets where trust is essential. For Saudi organizations in banking, healthcare, or government, the downstream cost of a preventable breach dwarfs any VAPT investment by a factor of 10 to 50 times.
Every CyberSilo VAPT engagement follows a structured, documented process — giving your team full visibility at every phase, from pre-engagement scoping to remediation retest sign-off. Aligned with industry-standard VAPT frameworks and GCC regulatory expectations.
We define the precise scope — IP ranges, applications, cloud accounts, and testing windows. Authorized targets, testing hours, and emergency contacts are documented and signed before any testing begins. Zero risk of unplanned disruption.
Passive and active OSINT — mapping your external attack surface as a real adversary would. DNS enumeration, certificate transparency analysis, credential exposure monitoring, and shadow IT discovery.
Systematic scanning and manual analysis to identify all exploitable weaknesses. Every finding is manually verified — eliminating the false-positive noise that makes automated scanner reports unusable.
Controlled exploitation of confirmed vulnerabilities — demonstrating real business impact. Privilege escalation, lateral movement, and data exfiltration simulations prove what an attacker could actually achieve.
Dual-layer reporting: a detailed technical report for your security team with reproduction steps and remediation guidance, plus an executive summary for the board — both available in Arabic and English.
Our consultants provide direct remediation guidance — available on call during your fix window. A complimentary retest of all critical and high findings confirms your exposure is closed before you report to regulators.
Dozens of firms offer pen testing in the GCC. Few deliver KSA-regulatory-aligned reports, in-Kingdom presence, Arabic-language deliverables, and free remediation retesting in a single engagement. Here is how CyberSilo is different.
CyberSilo operates with in-Kingdom presence — consultants who understand the Saudi regulatory environment, speak Arabic, and can attend on-site where physical access testing or sensitive briefings require it. You're not managed from a distant time zone.
All CyberSilo VAPT engagements follow CREST-aligned testing methodologies — the gold standard recognized by NCA and SAMA CSF auditors across the GCC. Our penetration testers hold OSCP, CEH, CREST CRT, and GPEN certifications.
Every VAPT engagement delivers reports in both Arabic and English. Executive summaries, risk matrices, and remediation roadmaps are formatted to align with NCA ECC submission requirements — reducing audit burden to near zero.
Every engagement includes a complimentary retest of all critical and high findings after remediation — confirming your fixes hold before you present results to regulators or the board. Most KSA pen testing firms charge separately for this.
CyberSilo structures all findings, evidence, and remediation documentation to drop directly into your NCA ECC, SAMA CSF, and ISO 27001 audit packages — saving your team weeks of manual evidence compilation before each assessment.
VAPT is a point-in-time assessment. CyberSilo clients can connect findings directly to ThreatHawk SIEM monitoring rules — ensuring vulnerabilities identified during testing are continuously watched for exploitation attempts year-round.
VAPT is the foundation of a strong security posture — but it works best when integrated with ongoing threat monitoring, compliance management, and continuous exposure management.
