'Pen Testing'


Penetration testing attempts to exploit potential vulnerabilities to identify whether unauthorized access or other types of malicious activities are possible. Also known as a pen test, it is an authorized and controlled attack against your network or computer system to discover susceptible vulnerabilities. Penetration testing, commonly referred to as 'pen testing,' is a technique that simulates real-life attacks on your IT systems to find weaknesses that could be exploited by hackers. Whether to comply with security regulations such as ISO 27001, gain customer and 3rd party trust, or achieve your own peace of mind, penetration testing is an effective method used by modern organizations to strengthen their cyber security posture and prevent data breaches. However, many companies collect various types of data in the name of understanding the vulnerabilities. There are several types of security breaches that help expose vulnerabilities such as unsanitized inputs that are vulnerable to security breaches (e.g., code injection attacks).



Network penetration testing covers a broad range of checks, including insecure configurations, encryption vulnerabilities, and missing security patches in order to determine the steps a hacker could take to attack your organization. Security professionals often categorize this test into two different perspectives: external and internal. Experts say, external weaknesses are considered to pose a more serious threat than internal ones. For one thing, a hacker has to overcome an external security barrier before accessing your internal networks and pivoting to other systems. If you haven't conducted any kind of penetration testing before, an external or 'perimeter' test is often the best place to start, as the perimeter is the easiest thing for attackers to get to. If you have trivial vulnerabilities in your internet-facing in.
