Penetration tests are vital components of vulnerability management programs. In these tests, white hat hackers try to find and exploit vulnerabilities in your systems to help you stay one step ahead of cyberattackers. Here we’ll discuss penetration testing types, methods, and determining which tests to run.

A penetration test , or pen test, is the simulation of a cyber attack. This critical IT security practice isn’t the same as a vulnerability assessment or vulnerability scanning, though, as pen testing involves an actual attack similar to what hackers would do in real-world conditions.

Penetration testing and vulnerability scanning should be used to test proper implementation and configuration. Wireless Scanners: Use wireless scanners to detect unexpected wi-fi and cellular (4G, 5G, etc.) Unsecured wireless connections must be identified, and then blocked or protected by network security.

Testing must be performed to verify that resources have been installed, configured, integrated, and secured without error or gap in security. Active Vulnerability Detection Vulnerability scans and penetration testing will be performed [quarterly] and after significant changes to resources to test for unknown vulnerabilities.

The basic elements of a fundamental network include: Network equipment: Controls data flow between devices and commonly includes physical and virtual switches, wired or wireless routers, modems, and hubs. Testing Tests deliver measurable efforts through vulnerability scans, log analysis, or monitoring.

Financial institutions in the 1990s and 2000s were some of the first to incorporate encryption to protect online transactions, particularly as backup tapes were lost in transit. Penetration testing and red teamers are critical for remaining vigilant in an ever-changing threat environment and catching the vulnerabilities otherwise missed.
