The answer is alarming! Get a Penetration testing (Pen Test)

Every day there seems to be a new vulnerability or large-scale information security breach to read about. These constant reminders of cyber security’s importance are highly justified. But for large enterprises, which are offered multiple products and solutions to protect their systems from a growing variety of threats, it’s often difficult to determine where to start when it comes to boosting their cyber security confidence. You need to have a penetration test.

What is a penetration test?

A penetration test is designed to answer the question: “What is the real-world effectiveness of my existing security controls against an active, human, skilled attacker?” We can contrast this with security or compliance audits that check for the existence of required controls and their correct configurations, by establishing a simple scenario: Even a 100% compliant organization may still be vulnerable in the real world against a skilled human threat agent.

It’s very important for any organization to identify security issues present in internal network and computers. Using this information organizations can plan defensive measures against any hacking attempt. User privacy and data security are the biggest concerns nowadays. Imagine if any hacker manages to get user details off social networking sites like Facebook. Organizations can face legal issues due to a small loophole left in a software system. Hence big organizations are looking to show just how safe their networks are.

What should be tested?

– Software

– Hardware

– Network

– Process

Pen Testing Techniques:

1) Manual penetration test

2) Using automated penetration test tools

3) Combination of both manual and automated process

The third process is more common to identify all kinds of vulnerabilities.
