Comprehensive Security Threat Assessments and Penetration Testing
Effective identification and mitigation of vulnerabilities requires a thorough understanding of adversary tactics, techniques and procedures. Magilatech's penetration testing and security threat assessment services simulate real-world attacks on your networks, applications and systems to uncover exploitable vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them.
Unlike automated vulnerability scanners, our assessments are performed manually by certified security experts. We dive deeper into your environment, identifying the types of security issues that automated tools routinely miss.
Our engagements cover internal infrastructure, external perimeters, web applications, APIs, mobile applications, cloud environments and operational technology (OT) systems. We also offer specialised Internet and Mobile Banking Security Testing for financial institutions, drawing on proven methodologies refined through work with leading banks and fintech organisations.
Our Approach
A typical penetration test follows three clear phases, balanced to the accuracy and depth of information you can safely provide in advance.
Reconnaissance
Passive and active information gathering to map your attack surface and understand the technologies, architecture and potential entry points in scope.
Testing and Exploitation
Manual attempts to exploit identified vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and logical flaws. We test the detection and response capabilities of your people, processes and technology in a controlled manner.
Documentation and Reporting
Clear, prioritised findings with evidence, risk ratings, business impact analysis and actionable remediation recommendations, written for both technical teams and executive stakeholders.
Specialised Testing Capabilities
In addition to standard network and application testing, Magilatech offers targeted services including:
Internet and Mobile Banking Security Testing
Tailored assessments for financial applications, transaction flows, authentication mechanisms and API security, refined with financial sector clients.
Web Application and API Penetration Testing
In-depth manual testing for OWASP Top 10 risks, business logic flaws, authentication bypasses and data exposure issues.
Cloud Security Assessments
Configuration reviews and penetration testing across major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerised environments.
OT and Industrial Control System Assessments
Safe, scoped testing of operational technology environments where availability and safety are paramount.
ICS Security Assessment
A comprehensive security assessment of industrial control systems (from physical and network access controls to vendor-specific weaknesses in PLC, SCADA, MES and related components) to uncover exploitable gaps without disrupting live operations.
