Table of Contents

Introduction to Pent Testing

Pent Testing – abbreviated from penetration testing – is a security assessment technique that simulates real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities in your system. This proactive measure helps businesses detect weak points and secure their IT infrastructure before actual hackers can exploit them. With increasing cyber threats, Pent Testing is now an essential component of modern organizational security strategies.

Why Pent Testing matters

  • Uncover system weaknesses before attackers do.
  • Comply with global security standards.
  • Safeguard customer data and protect your business reputation.
  • Stay prepared and responsive to real cyber attacks.

Pent Testing standard process

  1. Define testing scope and objectives.
  2. Gather information and assess attack surfaces.
  3. Identify and exploit potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Analyze results and provide thorough reporting.
  5. Recommend fixes and re-test after remediation.
