What is Penetration Testing?
Penetration testing, often called pen testing, is a proactive cyber security practice that simulates real world attacks to find vulnerabilities within systems, networks and applications. It is carried out by experienced penetration testers using ethical hacking techniques to safely test security controls and security defences before malicious attackers can exploit them.
A comprehensive penetration test helps organisations uncover security issues such as misconfigurations, weak access controls, flaws in source code and unknown threats. By attempting to gain access to target systems using black box, white box and grey box testing methods, our pen testers reveal potential weaknesses that could otherwise lead to a data breach or cyber incident.
