Ethical hacking for businesses: discover your weaknesses before an attacker does

Ethical hacking is the practice of attacking a company's systems, with its authorization, to discover security vulnerabilities and correct them before a cybercriminal can exploit them. At APEN, we apply it using the same techniques an attacker would use, but in a controlled manner, so you know what to fix and can protect your data and your business.

Ethical hacking services to protect your company

Our ethical hacking services include four tests: penetration testing, Red Team testing, vulnerability analysis, and web penetration testing. Each addresses a different need, from routinely reviewing known vulnerabilities to verifying whether the entire organization would detect a real attack. This way, you choose the test that best suits your company and your budget.

Pentesting

With a pentesting We simulate a real attack against your systems to test how far an intruder could go. Afterward, you receive a clear report with the risks prioritized and how to resolve them.

Red Team

An exercise in Red Team It tests your entire organization—not just the technology, but also the people and processes. This way, you can see if your company would detect and stop an attack in time.

Vulnerability analysis

With a vulnerability analysis We scan your computers, servers, and network to find security vulnerabilities and outdated software. This allows us to fix them before they become an entry point for attacks.

Pentest web

We check the security of your website, online store, or app to prevent fraud and service outages. You also reduce the risk of customer data theft.

The most reliable way to know if your company is protected

Ethical hacking involves attacking a company's systems, with its prior authorization, to discover vulnerabilities and correct them before a cybercriminal can exploit them. Many small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) assume their antivirus or firewall is sufficient for protection.

However, according to the INCIBE's assessment Published in February 2026, the report states that 122,223 cybersecurity incidents were handled in Spain in 2025, a 26.1% increase over the previous year. Furthermore, SMEs continue to be a primary target, as they tend to have fewer security measures in place. For example, a weak password, an outdated server, or a poorly configured website can be enough to open the door to ransomware or a customer data breach.

Depending on what you need to check, one type of test or another is more suitable. Vulnerability analysis periodically reviews computers, servers, and networks to locate known vulnerabilities. Penetration testing goes a step further: it attempts to exploit those vulnerabilities to test how far an attacker could penetrate. pentest web It focuses on your website, online store or application, and the Red Team puts the entire company to the test, including people and processes.

Furthermore, ISO 27001, the National Security Framework, and the NIS2 directive require managing technical vulnerabilities and verifying that security measures are effective. Therefore, documented ethical hacking evidence is one of the clearest ways to demonstrate this to an auditor or a client who requires guarantees.

FAQ

It is the practice of attacking a company's systems, with its permission, to find its security flaws and correct them before a cybercriminal can exploit them.

Yes, provided there is written authorization from the company. Before starting, we sign an agreement that specifies which systems will be reviewed, on what dates, and within what limits. All information obtained is treated confidentially.

It depends on the number of systems, the type of test, and its scope. That's why we start with a free diagnostic: we analyze your case and give you a quote tailored to your actual needs.

A test on a website or a few systems can be completed in a few days. A company-wide Red Team exercise requires several weeks. We'll give you a specific timeframe in the diagnostic report.

The tests are planned to minimize impact. We agree on schedules and limits with you, and avoid any action that could disrupt critical services.

Vulnerability analysis identifies known flaws in a broad range of cases. Penetration testing, on the other hand, attempts to exploit those flaws, as an attacker would, to test the actual damage they could cause.

As a guideline, vulnerability scans should be performed annually and always after significant changes, such as a new website or a server migration. In addition, vulnerability assessments can be conducted more frequently.
