What is pen testing?
Pen testing is short for Penetration testing and is designed to replicate a real world attack on a network, application, or system that identifies vulnerabilities and weaknesses.
Why do it?
Penetration tests are recognised industry wide as an attempt to highlight and remove the vulnerabilities that may be associated with a software platform. They actively attempt to ‘exploit’ vulnerabilities and exposures in a company’s infrastructure, applications, people and processes. This form of testing allows Soterweb to create an in-depth database focussing on the vulnerability, impact, threat and the likelihood of a breach in an information asset.
