Network penetration testing to strengthen security posture
Modernize the way you identify and assess risks with Kaseya's full-scale network penetration testing tool. Automate internal and external attack simulations to expose security gaps, prioritize remediation efforts and build lasting resilience across your network.
Conduct automated network pentesting anytime you need it
Kaseya's network penetration testing tool allows you to run monthly or on-demand tests whenever necessary. Replace one-off assessments with automated, repeatable testing that puts you in control of timing, frequency and scope.
Continuously identify and address risks
Schedule recurring pentests to stay ahead as new threats emerge and environments change. Go beyond basic vulnerability scans with a solution framework that shifts your approach from reactive to proactive, giving you a consistent view of your risk profile.
Track progress to validate your defenses
Showcase your security enhancements with trend analysis that highlights ongoing improvements and provides clear visibility into assessment milestones. Keep your team aligned on outcomes and prove that network defenses are not only in place but functioning as intended.
Maintain strict security and compliance
Adhere to security best practices and industry regulations with a solution that meets compliance requirements for PCI, HIPAA, SOC 2 and more. Use scheduling flexibility, real-time alerts, activity tracking and segmentation testing to demonstrate audit readiness year-round.
A network penetration testing tool that's accurate and thorough
Backed by certified experts
Leverage decades of penetration testing experience without hiring an in-house team. Built by eCPPT, OSCP, OSCE, CEH and CISSP-certified professionals, this tool delivers the proven methodologies of seasoned experts who have performed hundreds of assessments across industries.
Pre- and post-breach simulation
Uncover how attackers operate before and after gaining access. From open-source intelligence and host discovery to exploitation and privilege escalation, the software replicates real attack paths so you can evaluate weaknesses at every stage of a potential breach.
Internal and external pentesting
Test your defenses from both inside and outside your network. From insider threats that exploit internal devices to external risks like unpatched systems or misconfigurations, see where attackers could break through.
Advanced attack assessments
See how various sophisticated threats unfold within your environment. Simulate privilege escalation, lateral movement, authentication attacks, malware, egress filtering and sensitive data exfiltration attempts to measure how your defenses respond to real-world exploitation tactics.
Real-time activity monitoring
Track progress during a network penetration test with detailed logs of each action. Correlate those logs with your detection tools to verify monitoring responses and keep your threat response capabilities sharp.
Fast, comprehensive reporting
Receive actionable, auto-generated reports within 48 hours of completed testing. Executive summaries highlight key risks for leadership, while technical findings give IT teams the guidance they need to remediate vulnerabilities quickly and strengthen long-term security.

Network penetration testing, also called network pentesting, is the practice of simulating cyberattacks against your IT environment in a safe and controlled way. During this process, security professionals or automated tools attempt to exploit weaknesses in networks, applications or configurations to show how attackers might gain access.
The primary goal of network penetration testing is to evaluate how resilient your organization is against potential attacks. Rather than simply identifying vulnerabilities, it demonstrates how those weaknesses could be exploited and what impact that might have on your operations.
This approach is important because it gives organizations a realistic picture of their true exposure. By showing the business consequences of an attack, penetration testing helps reduce risk, validate security investments and provide stakeholders with confidence in your ability to withstand evolving threats.
The difference between internal and external pentesting lies in where the simulated attack originates:
- Internal network pentesting assumes the attacker already has access to your environment. This helps identify risks an insider or compromised device could exploit to move deeper within your systems.
- External network pentesting starts from outside your perimeter and focuses on vulnerabilities exposed to the internet, such as misconfigurations or unpatched services.
Together, they provide a complete view of how threats can target your organization from both inside and out.
A network penetration test can be performed in one of three ways: manually in-house, through an external consulting firm or with automated tools. Each approach has its own strengths and challenges.
Running a test manually requires a highly skilled internal security team and significant time investment, which makes it impractical for many organizations. Hiring a third-party consultant provides independent expertise, but it can be expensive and typically only delivers a point-in-time snapshot.
Automated penetration testing tools like Kaseya's provide a more efficient option. They run on demand, repeat as often as needed and deliver consistent reporting at a lower cost, giving you continuous visibility into your security posture without traditional limitations.
A network penetration test should be performed regularly, not just once a year. The right frequency depends on factors like regulatory requirements, changes to your IT environment and emerging threats. Many organizations benefit from monthly or quarterly testing so they can maintain an up-to-date view of their overall security health and respond to risks before they become serious issues.
