What is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing, or pen testing, is a proactive approach to identifying vulnerabilities in a system by simulating an attack.

Types of Penetration Testing

There are various types of pen tests, including web application testing, network testing, and social engineering testing.

Benefits of Penetration Testing

Regular pen testing helps organizations identify weaknesses before they can be exploited by malicious actors.

Conducting a Penetration Test

Pen tests should be conducted by qualified professionals who can provide a comprehensive assessment of security posture.

Post-Penetration Testing Actions

After testing, organizations should address identified vulnerabilities and continuously monitor their systems.
