Penetration Testing - eradicate threats and stay ahead
Penetration testing (pen testing), or ethical hacking, as it is commonly called, is a process which involves an attack on a computer system with the intention of finding and exploiting security weaknesses in order to gain access. As a component of a full security audit, a penetration test is designed to emulate hacking of an organisation’s network(s). Virtually any organisation of any size can become victim of a cyber-attack.
Penetration testing is a point in time assessment and can help an organisation to determine system vulnerabilities, if deployed defences are sufficient and which of them (if any) have been defeated during the test.
