Penetration testing, often called pen testing, is a controlled security assessment where expert ethical hackers simulate real-world cyber attacks on your systems, networks, and applications. Unlike automated scans, penetration testing involves active attempts to exploit vulnerabilities, revealing not just potential weaknesses but also demonstrating how attackers could chain multiple vulnerabilities to breach your defenses.
Think of it as hiring professional security experts to break into your digital infrastructure – they use the same tools and techniques as malicious hackers but do so safely and legally, providing detailed reports of their findings to help you strengthen your security.
