Pen testing, short for penetration testing, is a process of simulating a cyberattack on a system, network, or application to identify and exploit vulnerabilities.
By simulating real-world attacks, pen testing can reveal the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in your security systems and processes. This allows you to prioritize and remediate the most critical issues before they are exploited by malicious actors.
Pen testing can also help you comply with the requirements and best practices of your industry and Australian regulators, demonstrating your commitment to security and privacy.
Pen testing can help organisations assess their security posture, comply with regulations, and prevent data breaches. Pen testing can be performed manually or with automated tools, and can be conducted from different perspectives. . Pen testing typically follows a methodology that consists of planning, scanning, attacking, reporting, and remediation. Pen testing assists us to reach three main goals which are:
Detect and prevent potential breaches and data leaks before they cause damage or loss.
Comply with industry standards and regulations, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, etc.
Improve their security awareness and culture, as well as their incident response and recovery capabilities.
