Pen Testing
What should good pen testing Include?
Every penetration testing project should begin with a thorough assessment of the company's potential entry points. Through this evaluation, all possible points of entry into the network, such as open ports, unpatched vulnerabilities, improperly configured systems, and weak passwords, should be discovered.
Following the determination of all possible entry points into the network, the penetration tester should attempt to gain access to the system by exploiting those points. As soon as the tester gains entry, it is imperative that he or she ensures that no sensitive information has been exposed, such as credit card numbers, bank account details, or trade secrets. Penetration testers attempt to gain administrative access as a final step.

In the event of a security breach, sensitive information may be compromised, resulting in the loss of trust from your customers and serious damage to your reputation. You can prevent costly security breaches that damage your organization's reputation and customers' loyalty by performing penetration testing.
Additionally, it may be used in conjunction with vulnerability scanning to provide even more valuable insights into vulnerabilities and breach points. An accurate assessment of your company's "health" and its resilience to cyber attacks can only be made through penetration testing. Conducting a pen test can help you determine whether a malicious attack on your company's IT infrastructure was successful or not. As a result, you can prioritize your security investments, comply with industry regulations, and develop efficient defensive mechanisms to keep intruders out of your business for the long run.
