Penetration testing is a form of ethical cybersecurity assessment that aims to identify, securely exploit, and help remediate vulnerabilities in computer systems, applications, and websites.
With the same tools and techniques used by cyber attackers, the penetration test simulates a real attack and scans for vulnerabilities.

Penetration testing allows organizations to reduce their security risk and provide assurance on the security of their IT systems by detecting vulnerabilities before they are exploited for malicious purposes.
