Core Impact: Advanced Penetration Testing Software for Detecting Security Vulnerabilities

Core Impact is a leading penetration testing platform that helps organizations identify vulnerabilities, validate risks, and strengthen their cybersecurity defenses. With advanced automation, a comprehensive exploit library, and multi-vector testing capabilities, Core Impact enables security teams to conduct efficient, repeatable, and accurate penetration tests.

Key Features of Core Impact

Intuitive Automation for Penetration Tests

Core Impact simplifies complex penetration tests with guided automation. Whether conducting your first test or running enterprise-scale assessments, users can quickly execute reliable and repeatable tests with minimal setup.

Extensive Library of Verified Exploits

Access a constantly updated library of Core Certified Exploits developed by cybersecurity experts. Additionally, Core Impact integrates add-on exploit packages from ExCraft Labs, expanding coverage for SCADA, medical, and IoT systems.

Multi-Vector Security Testing

Perform comprehensive testing across multiple vectors, including networks, web applications, and client-side environments. Core Impact identifies how vulnerabilities can chain together, revealing risks that may otherwise go undetected.

Centralized Pen Testing Workspace

Manage every stage of the penetration testing process from a single console. Core Impact’s intuitive dashboard allows you to gather information, operate systems, and generate reports without switching between tools. For extended capabilities, it integrates with popular platforms like Cobalt Strike, Metasploit, PowerShell Empire, and PlexTrac.

Visual Attack Mapping

For teams who prefer a visual approach, Core Impact offers an interactive attack map. This real-time network diagram shows attack chains, pivot points, and testing activity, helping security teams make informed decisions about remediation.

Safety Features Built In

Core Impact prioritizes safe testing. Its fully encrypted, self-destructing agents ensure that exploits run securely, minimizing risk to critical systems.

Rapid Penetration Tests (RPT)

Rapid Penetration Tests (RPT) provide step-by-step visual workflows for common testing tasks. They reduce setup time, streamline operations, and allow testers to quickly retest environments to confirm that corrective actions or security controls are effective.

Support for Regulatory Compliance

Core Impact simplifies compliance with standards like PCI-DSS, CMMC, NIST, and GDPR. Reporting aligns with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and the NIST Security and Privacy Controls Catalog, helping organizations demonstrate compliance during audits.

Network and Web Application Testing

Simulate attacker techniques to detect vulnerabilities across critical systems, hosts, devices, and applications. Core Impact evaluates defensive measures by mimicking real-world attacks, providing actionable insights to strengthen infrastructure and reduce risk.

Phishing Simulations for Awareness

Run realistic phishing campaigns to identify at-risk users and improve security awareness. Step-by-step guidance helps you create emails, select targets, and measure engagement. Real emails can be imported for added credibility, enabling sophisticated social engineering tests.

Validate Vulnerabilities from Scanners

Core Impact integrates with over 20 industry-leading vulnerability scanners, including Nessus, BurpSuite, beSECURE, and Frontline VM. It validates scan results in one step, prioritizes critical findings, and ensures that remediation efforts focus on real risks.
