With guided automation and certified exploits , this powerful penetration testing software enables you to safely test your environment using the same techniques as today's attackers. Core Impact gives you visibility into the effectiveness of your defenses and reveals where your most pressing risks exist in your environment. This enables you to assess your organization’s ability to detect, prevent, and respond to real-world, multi-staged threats against your infrastructure, applications, and people. Organizations can rely on Core Impact to measure their ability to identify attacks, track, and validate their effectiveness through a variety of approaches, including: - Demonstrating what vulnerabilities surfaced from scanners are truly exploitable, revealing how chains of exploitable vulnerabilities open paths to your organization’s mission-critical systems and assets. - Re-testing exploited systems to verify that remediation measures or compensating controls are effective and working. - Simplifying testing for new users by providing intuitive, step-by-step wizards and rapid penetration tests so they can automatically gather the information they need. - Deploying phishing campaigns for social engineering tests to discover which users are susceptible and what credentials can be harvested. Core Impact’s Key Features Include: · Guide Automation and Patented Agents · Certified Exploits · Reporting and Visibility · Programmable Self-Destruct & Error Prevention · Teaming, Automated Retesting, and Validation Core Impact is also interoperable with Vuln Scanners, like Fortra VM, and Red Team Tools such as Cobalt Strike and Outflank OST.
