No matter how large or small an organization is, or how robust an organization\u2019s infrastructure is, networks and applications are vulnerable to being exploited. Organizations that are unaware of their networks\u2019 potential weaknesses and vulnerabilities are at risk of cyberattacks that may result in costly data breaches and theft. To combat these vulnerabilities and evaluate the strength of their network security, organizations perform a type of network assessment called penetration testing or \u201cethical hacking\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Benefits Of Penetration Testing<\/h2>\n

One of the best ways to prepare your business for a potential cybersecurity attack is to simulate a cyberattack internally. Penetration testing is an IT exercise that employs a cybersecurity specialist to attempt a cybersecurity attack in order to identify and exploit network vulnerabilities and weaknesses.<\/p>\n

\"ITBy performing penetration testing, organizations are able to witness how hackers could obtain access to their network and can devise a plan on how to strengthen their network security levels. Some of the most common vulnerabilities found within networks include software bugs, configuration errors, and outdated software.<\/p>\n

Security Weakness Identification<\/h3>\n

Being able to identify network security weaknesses, allows an organization\u2019s IT and network departments the ability to make strategic plans to resolve vulnerability issues before hackers are able to obtain access to their network. This type of premeditated defense can potentially save organizations from being susceptible to costly data breaches and data theft.<\/p>\n

Security Policy Testing<\/h3>\n

In addition to identifying weaknesses within their network, penetration testing can also be used to evaluate the strength of their organization\u2019s security policies. Highlighting weaknesses in an organization\u2019s security policy can improve the prevention and detection of a cybersecurity attack.<\/p>\n

Employee Security Awareness<\/h3>\n

\"employeeHaving a strong network security infrastructure can still lead to a cybersecurity attack if an organization\u2019s employees are unable to identify and respond to a security breach. Preparing and training employees on how to respond and mitigate damages can greatly reduce the risk of future cybersecurity attacks.<\/p>\n
