Pen testing or ethical hacking are other terms for penetration testing. It refers to the deliberate launch of simulated cyberattacks to find exploitable flaws in computer systems, networks, websites, and applications. Pen testing tools can be used to assess the robustness of an organization's security policy, regulatory compliance, employee security knowledge, and the organization's capacity to identify and respond to security issues as they occur, in addition to identifying security vulnerabilities.
A penetration test, often known as a pen test, simulates a
cyber assault on your computer system in order to find exploitable flaws.
Penetration testing is frequently used to supplement a web application firewall
in the context of web application security (WAF).
Pen testing include attempting to break into a variety of
application systems (e.g., APIs, frontend/backend servers) in order to find vulnerabilities,
such as unsanitized inputs that are vulnerable to code injection attacks.
Combined with growing security necessity, the worldwide penetration
testing market is expected to develop during the forecast
period.
The practise of evaluating a computer system, network, or
online application for security flaws that an attacker could exploit is known
as penetration testing, sometimes known as pen testing or ethical hacking. The
scope of the report includes various types of testing services such as Network
Penetration Testing, Web Application Penetration Testing, Mobile Application
Penetration Testing, IoT and Internet-Aware Device Testing, Social Engineering
Penetration Testing Services, and Wireless Network Penetration Testing
Services.
