Penetration Testing
Description
A penetration test, sometimes referred to as a “pentest”, is a software attack on a computer system that looks for security weaknesses, potentially gaining access to the computer’s features and data The process typically identifies the target systems and a particular goal, then reviews available information and undertakes various means to attain the goal.
A penetration test target may be a white box, which provides background and system information, or black box, which provides only basic or no information except the company name.
Black Box provides the Penetration Testing service to businesses or organizations in need of professional penetration testing in order to fully understand and assess potential impacts, recourse, and feasible countermeasures to mitigate or remove unnecessary vulnerability and risk.
Why It’s Valuable and How It’s Beneficial
A penetration test can help determine whether a system is vulnerable to attack, if the defenses were sufficient, and which defenses, if any, the test defeated. Penetration test reports assess potential impacts to the organization and suggest countermeasures to reduce risk.
