What is Penetration Testing?
Penetration testing, or pen testing as it is often referred to, involves an authorised individual adopting the role of a hacker and attempting to compromise or gain access to a network or an application. The objective is to evaluate and assess an organisation’s security posture and identify, analyse and exploit any vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that present a security risk.
A penetration test is able to evaluate the impact that a vulnerability or a set of vulnerabilities might have on the organisation and to highlight how even non-critical issues can be chained together to cause greater impact. By identifying any risks, they can be treated before they are targeted by malicious hackers.

Moving from our existing Pen Testers after 10 years was a difficult decision but I am really glad we did. It's been a pleasure working with you. The Pen Testing was extremely thorough and as hoped you were open to a collaborative deeper delve, far beyond what we were required to do for PCI DSS, which has been very useful.
