Recreate real life attempts to breach your systems or locations, to identify any remaining weaknesses in your security.
Often going hand in hand with a Vulnerability Assessment (an essential security evaluation process) Penetration Testing involves a series of simulated real-life cyber attacks on your network. The aim is to test the security measures you have in place, and their effectiveness in combating various types of attack – especially after any major changes to your business infrastructure.
You need penetration testing to ensure that your organization’s security policies are effective at keeping intruders out. They are a test andcan help provide solutions that will prevent attackers from infiltrating your systems.
Often misunderstood at the first step in assessing your cybersecurity strength, a series of penetration tests (or ‘red team exercises’ as they are known as) should actually be implemented further down the line.
A thorough Vulnerability Assessment and/or Security Maturity Assessment should be carried out, followed by remedial work and compliance requirements, then you will get the most benefit from subsequent tests.
