Penetration testing is crucial to ensuring a resilient security posture within an organization. It simulates an attack on the system, application, or network to discover vulnerabilities before hackers do. Developers often use penetration testing to verify that applications’ internal resources are safe from unauthorized access. In this situation, the tester or ethical hacker serves as a malicious actor. They gather as much information about the system as possible to find exploitable weaknesses.
You can’t predict the future, but you can prepare for it. When it comes to IT (and OT), security validation is the closest to predicting the future as you can get. This is the second post in our series “Demystifying Security Validation Technologies: What You Need to Know,” in which we break down a number of security validation methods available today, provide the strengths and weaknesses of each, and explain how each functions in different IT environments.
