What is Penetration Testing?
Penetration testing is an indispensable security tool in a modern security leaders toolbox, this security test is where experts try to hack into an organisation's computer network to find vulnerabilities and weaknesses. It's like a "mock" hack to see if a hacker could get in and cause damage. The goal is to identify any problems and fix them before a real hacker can take advantage. It's basically a way to check the security of an organisation's network, web application or cloud systems.
How Do Data Breaches Occur?
A data breach occurs when a cybercriminal infiltrates a data source and extracts confidential information. This can be done by accessing a computer or network to steal local files or by bypassing network security remotely. The most common cyber attacks used in data breaches are outlined below:
RANSOMWARE
MALWARE
DENIAL OF SERVICE (DOS)
PHISHING
Why Do You Need Penetration Testing?
