What is Penetration Testing?

Pentesting, short for penetration testing, is a type of security testing that involves simulating a cyber-attack on a computer system, network, infrastructure, or application to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.

Penetration testing is a crucial component of any comprehensive cybersecurity program, as it helps organizations identify potential weaknesses in their security controls before they can be exploited by attackers. By conducting regular penetration tests, organizations can reduce their risk of a cyberattack and ensure that their security controls are effective in protecting their assets.

During a pentesting engagement, a team of security experts, known as ethical hackers or penetration testers, use a combination of manual and automated techniques such as social engineering, network scanning, vulnerability scanning, and exploitation to exploit vulnerabilities in the target system or application. They then provide a detailed report of their findings to the organization that commissioned the testing, along with recommendations on how to fix the identified vulnerabilities.
