Network Penetration Testing in Chicago
Most Chicago businesses do not know where their network is truly vulnerable until someone finds out for them, and too often that someone is an attacker. A network penetration test changes that by safely simulating a real attack to uncover your weaknesses first, so you can close them before a criminal exploits them. But many pen-test providers are remote firms that run the test, send a dense report, and leave your team to make sense of it alone.
Hubbard Street Technology takes a different approach, right here in Chicago. We have supported Chicago businesses since 1994, and we test your network the way an attacker would, explain what we find in plain English, and help you fix it, not just document it. As a local team that already understands your environment, we are here before the test, during it, and long after, because a penetration test should leave your business genuinely safer, not just leave you with a report.

Frequently Asked Questions About Network Penetration Testing in Chicago
What is network penetration testing?
Network penetration testing is a controlled assessment that simulates real attacks to uncover exploitable weaknesses in your systems, devices, and configurations. Unlike an automated scan, it shows what an attacker could actually access and exploit. Hubbard Street helps Chicago businesses act on the findings.
How is penetration testing different from a vulnerability scan?
A vulnerability scan automatically identifies known weaknesses, while penetration testing actively tests whether those weaknesses can be exploited. A penetration test provides a deeper view of your network's actual exposure and risk.
How often should we get a penetration test?
Many businesses test annually or after major network or infrastructure changes that could introduce new vulnerabilities. Compliance requirements may also call for regular testing. Hubbard Street can help determine the right schedule for your environment.
Does Hubbard Street help us fix what the test finds?
Yes. We explain the findings, help prioritize the risks, and provide guidance for addressing the vulnerabilities identified. Our goal is to turn the test results into measurable security improvements, not just a report.
