Research Summary
Penetration testing, often referred to as ＂pen testing,＂ is a cybersecurity practice that involves simulating cyberattacks on computer systems, networks, or applications to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses. This controlled and ethical testing is conducted by skilled cybersecurity professionals, known as ethical hackers or penetration testers, with the goal of finding security flaws before malicious hackers can exploit them. During penetration testing, various techniques are employed to probe for vulnerabilities, such as software vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weak security controls. The results of these tests help organizations assess their security posture, remediate identified issues, and improve their overall security measures to protect against real-world cyber threats. Penetration testing is an essential component of proactive cybersecurity strategies, providing valuable insights for risk management, compliance, and the enhancement of information security measures to safeguard sensitive data and critical infrastructure.
