What is Penetration Testing?

Definition of Penetration Testing: Penetration testing can be described as a legal and authorized attempt to locate and successfully and effeciently exploit computer systems for the purpose of making those systems more secure and protected. Penetration testing is a form of security testing that provides information on the configuration of the ogranization’s system by using public-domain sources. Penetration testing methods includes probing for vulnerabilities as well as giving proof of concept (POC ) attacks to demonstrate the vulnerabilities are real. Proper penetration testing always ends with particular recommendations for addressing and...

Network and System Penetration Testing

Network and System Penetration Testing iViZ's Network Penetration Test is more comprehensive than conventional Network vulnerability assessment by using an attacker-oriented approach. By going beyond simple vulnerability testing, iViZ's network testing also exploits them to find the real threats thereby enabling organization to effectively prioritize and remeditate them to drastically improve overall security posture.

Penetration test

A penetration test, occasionally pentest, is a method of evaluating the security of a computer system or network by simulating an attack from malicious outsiders (who do not have an authorized means of accessing the organization's systems) and malicious insiders (who have some level of authorized access). The process involves an active analysis of the system for any potential vulnerabilities that could result from poor or improper system configuration, both known and unknown hardware or software flaws, or operational weaknesses in process or technical countermeasures. This analysis is carried out from the position of a potential attacker and can involve active exploitation of security vulnerabilities. Security issues uncovered through the penetration test are presented to the system's...
