Penetration testing (pen testing) is a cybersecurity assessment and testing technique used to identify, exploit, and remediate security vulnerabilities and weaknesses in IT systems, networks, and applications. It involves simulating real-world cyber attacks and intrusion attempts by ethical hackers or security professionals to assess the security posture, resilience, and effectiveness of defensive measures and controls. Readers can explore penetration testing methodologies, tools, and best practices for conducting security assessments, identifying vulnerabilities, and improving cybersecurity posture and resilience in organizations, ensuring proactive detection and mitigation of security risks and threats.
