Penetration Testing Explained: Human-Led vs Autonomous

About This Video
Every network has a way in. A vulnerability scan lists what might be weak; a penetration test proves what an attacker could actually do with it.
Boom Logic delivers penetration testing two ways:
- Human-led — our security team attacks your perimeter, internal network, web applications, Microsoft 365 tenant, and your people (phishing and pretext calls) by hand, chaining small weaknesses the way a real intruder would and proving every step with evidence.
- Autonomous — a testing platform, run by our security team, safely attacks your live network on demand or weekly/monthly. Production-safe, no agents on your endpoints, and every fix can be re-tested to prove the path is closed.
Every test starts with a signed rules-of-engagement agreement and ends with an executive summary, a findings register, and compliance mapping to HIPAA, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and CIS Controls. Critical findings don't wait for the report.
Organizations with 25+ staff or endpoints also receive a complimentary external penetration test and phishing simulation, under a signed rules-of-engagement agreement.
- Annual pen testing is included in Boom 365: MSSP Pro — — and MSSP Enterprise — boomlogic.com/boom-365-mssp-enterprise
