Why GEN4 Penetration Testing
Gen 1
Gen 1 Penetration Testing relies on the capabilities and talent of single associates to “follow their noses” to problems leading to mistakes and unrecognized current vulnerabilities leading to false positives and false negatives.
Gen 2
Single Threaded: With a single thread for vulnerability detection the process can only go at the speed of the individual performing individual tasks sequentially. This approach is easily overwhelmed when large volumes of data are incurred.
Gen 3
Pen Test tried to substitute AI for "Expertise", the problem was that AI "is not curious"...it will not follow up on questionable indications...It does not consider the "risk profile of firm being tested...it does not "incorporate corporate priorities...it simple follows a prescribed check list.
Gen 4 (CRT)
PENlogix revolutionizes the speed and thoroughness of pen testing by providing an expert in each required pen test category and testing all requirement simultaneously 5-8 SMEs are engaged for each test Dramatic reduction in required time Most completed in 72 hours
Our infrastructure penetration testing services assess the security of your internal and external networks to identify vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. We simulate real-world threats to evaluate misconfigurations, unpatched systems, weak access controls, and exposure to cyberattacks. Our internal testing focuses on threats from within your organization, while external testing identifies risks from internet-facing assets. We provide detailed reports with remediation guidance to strengthen your overall security posture and reduce the risk of breaches.

✅Business Logic Testing – Identify flaws in application workflows that attackers can exploit to bypass security controls.
✅Client-Side Security Testing – Analyze JavaScript, browser-based vulnerabilities, and insecure dependencies in frontend applications.
✅Server-Side Security Testing – Evaluate backend components for misconfigurations, weak encryption, and insecure data storage.
✅Source Code Review (Optional) – Conduct static analysis to identify security flaws within the application’s source code.
Our cloud penetration testing services identify vulnerabilities and security gaps across your cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. We simulate real-world attacks to assess misconfigurations, privilege escalations, API security risks, and compliance gaps. Our experts provide actionable insights to strengthen your cloud security posture and ensure resilience against evolving threats.
✅Cloud Infrastructure Security Testing – Identify misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and security gaps in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments.
✅Identity & Access Management (IAM) Testing – Assess privilege escalation risks, role misconfigurations, and enforcement of multi-factor authentication (MFA).
✅API Security Testing – Identify authentication weaknesses, data exposure risks, and injection vulnerabilities in cloud-based APIs.
✅Storage & Database Security Testing – Evaluate access controls, encryption settings, and public exposure risks for cloud storage (S3, Blob, Cloud Storage) and databases.
✅Serverless & Container Security Testing – Assess risks in serverless functions (Lambda, Azure Functions) and containerized applications (Docker, Kubernetes).
✅Network & Perimeter Security Testing – Identify publicly exposed assets, misconfigured firewalls, and vulnerable cloud services.
✅Cloud Application Security Testing – Test web applications, authentication mechanisms, and APIs hosted in cloud environments.
✅Logging & Monitoring Assessment – Ensure proper logging, alerting, and monitoring are in place to detect and respond to threats.
Our custom penetration testing services are tailored to your unique security needs, industry requirements, and threat landscape.

Penetration Testing FAQs
Penetration Testing, assesses your IT infrastructure security by testing your systems and applications. Penetration tests are carried out by our team of highly skilled ethical hackers, called penetration testers.
A penetration test helps identify security weaknesses, provides actionable remediation steps, ensures compliance with regulations, and reduces the risk of data breaches. It’s a proactive approach to cybersecurity that enhances your overall security posture.
SOClogix provides the following types of penetration tests:
- External Penetration Testing – Assess internet-facing assets for vulnerabilities.
- Internal Penetration Testing – Simulate an attacker with insider access to your network.
- Web Application Testing – Evaluate security flaws in web applications.
- Mobile Application Testing – Test iOS and Android apps for security weaknesses.
- Wireless Network Testing – Identify risks in Wi-Fi and wireless infrastructures.
- Social Engineering – Assess employee susceptibility to phishing and other manipulation tactics.
- Cloud Security Testing – Examine security controls in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).
- Red Team Engagements – Simulate advanced persistent threats (APT) for full-scale security testing.
We recommend testing at least annually or whenever there are significant changes to your IT infrastructure, applications, or policies. Certain industries and compliance frameworks may require more frequent testing.
Our methodology follows industry standards such as NIST SP 800-115, OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, and OSSTMM, ensuring a structured and thorough assessment. Our process includes:
