what is penetration testing?
Ethical hacking, also known as penetration testing or white-hat hacking, involves an authorized attempt to gain illegitimate access to a computer system, application, or data. Unlike malicious hackers, ethical hackers identify vulnerabilities and provide solutions to enhance security.
What does a penetration tester do?
An ethical hacker or penetration tester is a cybersecurity professional trained to identify and fix vulnerabilities in systems before malicious hackers can exploit them. They simulate real-world cyberattacks to assess risk and strengthen security posture.
- Ethical Hackers help organizations answer critical cybersecurity questions:
- What vulnerabilities could an attacker exploit?
- What systems or data are most at risk?
- What damage could an attacker cause with the compromised information?
- How many security layers detect or log the intrusion?
Ethical hackers learn and perform hacking in a professional manner, based on the direction of the client, and later, present a maturity scorecard highlighting their overall risk and vulnerabilities and suggestions to improve.
benefits of penetration testing
The primary benefit of penetration testing is to prevent data from being stolen and misused by malicious attackers, as well as:
- Discovering vulnerabilities from an attacker’s POV so that weak points can be fixed.
- Implementing a secure network that prevents security breaches.
- Gaining the trust of customers and investors by ensuring the security of their products and data.
- Helping protect networks with real-world assessments.
