it security penetration testing
IT Security Penetration Testing is a proactive cybersecurity technique used to evaluate the security posture of an organization’s IT infrastructure by simulating real-world cyberattacks. Ethical hackers test networks, servers, web applications, and cloud systems to uncover vulnerabilities such as misconfigurations, weak authentication, SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and privilege escalation. This process combines automated scanning with manual exploitation to assess the actual risk and potential business impact. Guided by standards like OWASP Top 10, NIST, and PTES, IT security penetration testing helps organizations strengthen defenses, protect sensitive data, and meet compliance requirements such as ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HIPAA.
