NuHarbor doesn’t just identify the problem; they help you solve it... [Their] reports are the best we have ever received—more thorough and insightful than those we previously received from a Fortune 50 Pen Test company... They didn’t offer a ‘cookie cutter’ service; instead, they tailored their approach to what mattered most to us and provided deep insights.
NuHarbor conducted a web application penetration test on a few of our edge applications. They discovered many configuration weaknesses including insecure direct object reference (IDOR). They notified us immediately and offered advice on how to fix it. Their skilled engineers provided step-by-step assistance and retested to ensure that this critical vulnerability was fixed.
NuHarbor met us where we were at for timeline and budget. They adjusted the Pen Test scope to meet our specific need and budget.
Wifi. Yeah, that’s an unfamiliar animal to deal with. We hired NuHarbor to test the wireless networks we provide for our employees and customers to access store services. NuHarbor came onsite and set up their “toolkit” with antennas sticking out all around. They were able to set up a rogue access point, mimicking our access points, and users unknowingly logged on. NuHarbor initiated an evil twin attack to capture and inject packages into the network stream between user computers and other systems and then delivered findings so we could educate and curve our user behavior.
NuHarbor performed an external penetration test on our networks and alerted us to critical vulnerabilities. They let us know what the affected response might be from the host before they tried to exploit it. We were updated twice a day which was super helpful to me and my staff. They also provided great remedial guidance that helped us quickly correct vulnerabilities.
NuHarbor performed an internal penetration test of our organization utilizing one of our legacy network protocols. They were able to gain administrative access and push malicious code to our network. Had this been a real attack, we could have lost everything.
