An external vulnerability assessment simulates the tactics of an outside attacker attempting
to penetrate an organization's internal network without insider knowledge or privileged access.
At Barkrum, our team approaches this process with precision, replicating
real-world threat actor behavior to uncover potential weaknesses from the outside in.
Our team begins by conducting detailed open-source intelligence (OSINT)
gathering, searching for publicly available information such as employee data, historical
breach credentials, and other sensitive details that could be leveraged against the organization's
external systems. They then perform comprehensive scanning and enumeration of external-facing assets
to detect vulnerabilities that could serve as entry points.
Upon completion of the engagement, Barkrum provides a detailed assessment report outlining every
discovered vulnerability, misconfiguration, and security gap, alongside their potential impact if
exploited by an internal threat actor. Each finding is rated by risk level, supported by technical
evidence, and accompanied by actionable remediation recommendations tailored to your environment.
