Penetration testing, or pen testing, is the practice of simulating real-world attacks on a system or network to identify vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.
• Used by organizations to assess their security posture by identifying potential weaknesses.• Employed in compliance testing to meet regulatory standards for cybersecurity.
The purpose is to identify security weaknesses in a system or network before attackers can exploit them, allowing organizations to fix vulnerabilities proactively.
Vulnerability scanning identifies potential vulnerabilities, while penetration testing actively attempts to exploit them to assess their impact.
Types include black-box testing (with no prior knowledge of the system), white-box testing (with full knowledge), and gray-box testing (partial knowledge).
