Identifying vulnerabilities: Penetration testing assists in detecting security flaws and vulnerabilities in an organization’s network, systems, and applications before bad actors exploit them.
Penetration testing, which simulates real-world attack scenarios, assesses the efficiency of existing security controls such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and access controls.
Prioritising the remedial efforts: Penetration testing results assist organisations choose remedial activities based on the severity and potential impact of detected vulnerabilities.
Increasing incident response preparedness: Penetration testing reveals useful information about an organization’s incident response capabilities by evaluating detection and response methods against simulated assaults.
Meeting the compliance requirements: Many regulatory frameworks and industry standards mandate regular penetration testing as part of the compliance procedure in order to maintain the security of sensitive data and systems.
