When discussing cybersecurity, “penetration testing” and “red teaming” are two terms that are often used interchangeably but are two entirely separate concepts. If you are considering implementing additional cybersecurity protocols within your organization, it’s essential to understand the unique role and function of each of these processes and how they can benefit your organization.
When it comes to protecting software, don’t count on automated testing to find all the vulnerabilities in your code. Here’s why manual penetration testing is more essential (and more accessible) than one might think.
As digital business becomes more widespread, the need to ensure data security increases. One way to test its effectiveness is through penetration testing. Penetration tests are performed by ‘ethical hackers’ who attempt to gain access to systems and data to find vulnerabilities. By doing so, businesses can then take steps to mitigate these risks. Companies should consider penetration testing as an essential part of their overall security strategy.

As web servers become an increasingly popular target for cybercriminals, it is more important than ever for businesses to ensure that their systems are secure. One of the best ways to do this is through web server penetration testing, which involves simulating a cyberattack to identify vulnerabilities. This blog will introduce web server penetration testing and how to carry it out effectively.
One of the most important parts of a solid security program involves testing to see where your weaknesses lie. Continual improvement cannot be achieved without continual review. However, many people confuse the importance of vulnerability scanning with penetration testing. As a means of protecting an enterprise, one can never take precedence over, or replace the other. Both are equally important, and in some cases, they are suggested, if not outright directed by many standards and regulations.
