Penetration testing is a simulated cyber-attack against your organization’s network, applications or systems. It is used to identify security weaknesses before actual cybercriminals can exploit them. When you simulate a real-world attack, penetration tests reveal vulnerabilities. This enables you to enhance security before an actual breach happens.
However, a penetration test is just one component of a comprehensive cybersecurity framework. To fully protect your business, it should be integrated with other security measures and practices.
