X-Force Red penetration testing services
Penetration testing for your applications, networks, hardware and personnel to uncover and fix vulnerabilities that expose your most important assets to attacks
Overview
If you try to test everything, you’ll waste your time, budget and resources. By using a communication and collaboration platform with historical data, you can centralize, manage and prioritize high-risk networks, applications, devices and other assets to optimize your security testing program. The X-Force® Red Portal enables everyone involved in remediation to view test findings immediately after vulnerabilities are uncovered and schedule security tests at their convenience.
Benefits
Focused testing capabilities
Under a managed program, X-Force Red helps prioritize which applications, networks, devices and assets need testing.
Advanced tools and techniques
With an attacker’s mindset, X-Force Red uses the same tools, techniques and practices as criminals to design potential attack scenarios.
Easy to manage
Simple scoping and a subscription service that provides testing services at a predictable fixed monthly rate.

Penetration testing pillars
Application testing
Application testing
Test your mobile, web, IoT and backend applications. X-Force Red can provide manual penetration testing, secure code review, binary analysis and vulnerability assessments of any platforms.
Network testing
Network testing
Prevent opportunistic attacks with X-Force Red manual network penetration testing. Our hackers identify vulnerabilities that may lead to opportunistic attacks and testing uncovers vulnerabilities that scanners cannot, such as logic flaws, back doors and misconfigurations.
Hardware testing
Hardware testing
Test engineering and security from a hacker’s point of view. X-Force Red can reverse-engineer your devices to find vulnerabilities during development, assess source code and data in and out of systems, and identify vulnerabilities in product implementation and external libraries.
Social engineering
Social engineering
Humans can be the weakest link in your security. Determining the risks of human behavior is a key aspect of social engineering. X-Force Red engagements can include ruses attackers may use to trick your employees into divulging sensitive information.
Specialty penetration testing services
Cloud testing
Cloud testing
Assessing the security posture of production cloud-based workloads and sensitive assets that live in the container infrastructure is an essential step toward enhanced cloud security.
X-Force Red provides cloud configuration and infrastructure review to find critical misconfigurations that can lead to privilege escalation or unauthorized access to sensitive data. X-Force Red hackers can uncover potential attack paths and insecure DevOps practices such as sharing secrets (privileged credentials, API/SSH keys, and more). They also find and fix exploitable flaws inside containers and the connected environment, including orchestrators, cloud platforms and other components.
Blockchain testing
Blockchain testing
While blockchain is the new frontier for secure transactions, that doesn’t mean blockchain solutions are always managed securely.
X-Force Red can test your entire blockchain environment or only the technical elements such as chain code, remote nodes and block producers, certificate authority, and integration with off-chain code. X-Force Red hackers work side-by-side with blockchain developers and architects to create secure policies, procedures and controls to address typical security vulnerabilities within blockchain networks.
Industry penetration testing services
ATM security testing
ATM security testing
With more than 3 million automated teller machines (ATMs) globally accessible to consumers, it’s no wonder criminals are always looking to exploit their vulnerabilities for profit. Fortunately, the X-Force Red team of veteran hackers has decades of experience breaking into ATMs and other technologies.
X-Force Red tests all components of an ATM’s software and hardware, including applications, connected networks, casings, locks, tamper systems and more. X-Force Red then works with you on a remediation plan so your customers' sensitive financial data can remain protected. You can also find out if your ATM and connected infrastructure are compliant with industry mandates, such as the PCI DSS.
Industrial control systems testing
Industrial control systems testing
In industrial control systems (ICS), multiple systems and technologies from different entities—such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) or distributed control systems (DCS) used in highly complex environments—integrate to monitor and control critical processes.
X-Force Red can manage the entire remediation process, helping you understand which vulnerabilities matter most and, in cases where patching is too risky, recommend countermeasures to reduce risk. X-Force Red can also help you minimize disruptions with active and passive, manual and tool-based testing.
Global testing labs
Test your devices before and after they go to market. Expert penetration testers in our global labs can tear down, reverse engineer, modify, compromise, exploit and test every aspect of your hardware to help remediate vulnerabilities throughout the development lifecycle.

Protecting advertising displays from attacks
Digital advertising displays and their streaming network are all potential entry points for criminal attackers. A quarterly penetration testing program by veteran hackers helps the company improve its security posture and protect its reputation.
