Why Do You Need a Penetration Test?
Penetration testing is the most precise and reliable tool to get the real picture of your digital assets’ protection. You can successfully elaborate all your security policies, implement procedures, pass through the information security auditing, make a vulnerability assessment … but to be totally sure all of them work properly you need a careful technical check.
And here penetration testing comes into play. Only it can give you a truthful answer to the questions: «Are my digital assets really cyber secure?» and «What else I need to do urgently to avoid being hacked?» Penetration testing brings you the clear truth about the state and reliability of your cyber defense.
A penetration tester (you may also call him “an ethical hacker”) is a specialist able to think and act like an attacker. Imitating different kinds of cybercriminal attacks, he provides a real-life test of your defense line. Thus, you will have precise information about its week points and will be able to take steps to harden them—just in time to get ahead of cybercriminals trying to exploit these vulnerabilities.
