Q: What is a penetration test?

A penetration test , also known as a “ pen test ” is a method for evaluating the effectiveness of an organization’s security controls. Testing is performed under controlled conditions, simulating scenarios representative of what a real attacker would attempt. When gaps are identified in security control, a penetration test goes beyond basic vulnerability scanning to determine how an attacker would escalate access to sensitive information assets, confidential information, personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, intellectual property, or any other sensitive information. Penetration testing utilizes pen test tools and techniques, guided by a disciplined and repeatable methodology, resulting in a report containing detailed findings and recommendations that allow an organization to implement countermeasures and improve the security posture of the environment. These improvements ultimately reduce the likelihood an attacker could gain access.
