Infrastructure Penetration Testing: See What Automated Scans Miss.
Packetlabs’ Infrastructure Penetration Testing goes beyond automated scans to identify vulnerabilities across networks, Active Directory, and third-party platforms that retail and eCommerce operations depend on. Our methodology is 95% manual, exposing real attack paths, not just surface-level findings, and presents them in a clear attack narrative that mirrors how adversaries would target your environment.
Why it matters: Retail environments are complex and interconnected, from payment processors and loyalty apps to supply chain integrations and vendor portals. Automated scans often overlook the weak links that attackers exploit to access sensitive customer data, payment systems, or backend operations. Infrastructure Penetration Testing gives you visibility into these exposures so you can prioritize fixes that protect revenue, compliance, and customer trust.
