Penetration testing is a method of evaluating the security of an information system or network by simulating an attack to find out vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit.
Penetration testing can reveal to network administrators, System administrators, IT managers, and executives the potential consequences of a real attacker breaking into the network.
A penetration test will point out vulnerabilities and document how those weaknesses can be exploited. It also shows how an attacker can exploit several minor vulnerabilities to compromise a computer or network. Penetration testing exposes the gaps in the security model of an organization. It helps organizations strike a balance between technical prowess and business functionality from the perspective of potential security breaches. This information is also useful during disaster recovery and business continuity planning.
