Cyber Security

Penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking or pen testing, is a proactive and systematic approach to evaluating the security of an organization’s systems, networks, or applications. It involves simulating real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that malicious actors could exploit. The primary objective of penetration testing is to assess the effectiveness of an organization’s security measures and provide actionable recommendations for enhancing its overall security posture. During a penetration test, a team of skilled and authorized professionals, known as ethical hackers or penetration testers, uses a combination of automated tools and manual techniques to simulate various attack scenarios. They attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities and gain unauthorized access to the target systems, networks, or applications. By adopting the mindset and techniques of potential attackers, penetration testers can identify security gaps that might otherwise go unnoticed.
