Penetration testing, or pen testing, has become a common security assessment practice for helping organizations take a proactive approach to protect against cyber threats. It is a simulation attack on computer systems, networks, or applications to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses.
Per a Q4 2023 survey, 77% of organizations use penetration testing to evaluate their security measures. Today, there are a variety of penetration testing methods organizations can use to identify and resolve potential weaknesses in their cybersecurity programs. One method that is becoming increasingly important for businesses in every industry is internal network pen testing.
With the results, your business can improve security by addressing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical systems and data.
