Penetration testing, often referred to as "pen testing," is a proactive and authorized security assessment methodology designed to evaluate the security of computer systems, networks, applications, or other information technology infrastructures. The primary purpose of penetration testing is to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in these systems before malicious hackers can exploit them.
During a penetration test, our skilled and certified security professionals, known as penetration testers or ethical hackers, simulate real-world cyber-attacks against the target systems. They use various tools, techniques, and methodologies to mimic the actions of potential attackers and will attempt to penetrate the target systems to gain unauthorized access, extract sensitive information, or compromise the security of the target organization.
This testing is required by higher education institutions, financial services, and other industries because of the value it provides in assessing the resiliency of a network.
If you would like to discuss this process and how it can benefit your organization or business, please contact us today. We can arrange a call with one of our ethical hackers to fully review the process.
