A penetration test is a form of ethical cyber security assessment designed to identify and safely exploit vulnerabilities affecting computer systems, networks, applications and websites so that any weaknesses discovered can be addressed in order to mitigate the risk of suffering a malicious attack.
This is the process of assessing computer systems, networks and applications to identify and address security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by cybercriminals.
Penetration testing services are highly customizable and can focus on one or several areas. The four main categories of tests available are the internal pen test, external pen test, wireless pen test, and social engineering.
