Penetration testing, also known as a Pen Test or Pentest, is a simulated cyber attack on a computer system, network, or web application to assess its defenses. It is typically performed by professional ethical hackers to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors. The results of a Penetration Test can be used to improve the security of an organization’s digital assets.

By identifying these weaknesses before malicious hackers do, businesses can reduce the risk of a successful cyber attack and protect themselves from financial losses and reputational damage.

In addition to being a best practice for ensuring the security of web applications, penetration testing is also required for compliance with certain regulations.

Overall, web application penetration testing is a critical part of any business’s overall security strategy.

The key difference between a Penetration Test and Vulnerability Assessment is that a Penetration Test will act upon vulnerabilities found and verify if they are legitimate, reducing the list of confirmed risks associated with a target. Penetration Tests are goal-based and adaptable based on the unique test, while Vulnerability Assessments use a consistent, tool-based method.
