What is penetration testing?
Penetration testing, or pen testing, is an advanced ethical cybersecurity technique that identifies and exploits vulnerabilities in systems, applications, and websites. By simulating real cyber attacks, it provides valuable insights into security weaknesses. This proactive approach allows organizations to address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, reducing security risks and enhancing overall defenses, while fostering a culture of continuous improvement in cybersecurity.
Pen tests involve carefully planned and controlled assessments of your digital infrastructure, covering areas such as network security, application security, and employee vulnerabilities (e.g., phishing attempts). These assessments help uncover weak points that could be exploited by cybercriminals.
