A penetration test is an authorized simulated attack on a computer system that is performed to evaluate the security of the system. The test is performed to identify both weakness (also referred as vulnerabilities) including the potential for unauthorized parties to gain access to the systems features and data, as well as strength, enabling a full risk assessment to be completed.
These test are performed using both manual and automatic technologies to systematically compromise servers, end points, web application, wireless networks, network devices, mobile devices and other potential points of exposure. Tester tried to achieve higher level of security clearance and much better access to electronic assets and information via privilege escalation. In this way vulnerabilities are successfully exploited on a particular system.
Benefits of Penetration Testing
- Vulnerabilities can be managed excellently
- Cut out the cost of network downtime
- meet all the requirements that are regulated and avoid fine lines.
- Increase corporate goodwill and customer satisfaction.
Why Perform Pen-Tests
Expensive security breaches and service interruption
Any interruption in the performance of services or application and security breach can directly cause financial losses, harm organization’s reputation, decrease customer loyalty, attract negative press and trigger significant fines and penalties
It is impossible to make all the information confidential
Earlier, organizations were installing and maintaining layered of defensive security mechanism including user access control, cryptography IIPS<IPS and firewalls. But, now a days organization should be dynamic they should always update themselves with every new technology including some of these security system so as to make it harder to find any organization’s vulnerabilities and to protect against many types of potential security incidents.
Pen testing identifies and decreases security risk
Pen testing helps the organization to protect its network, application end points and users from external or internal attempts to circumvent its security control to get unauthorized or privileged access to protected assets.
