As organisations continue to become more reliant on technology, cyber security threats become more frequent and sophisticated. With more and more data being stored online, it’s crucial that organisations protect their systems and data from cyber attacks. Penetration testing is an effective way to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in an organisation’s cyber security defences, but traditional penetration testing has limitations.
Security often feels like an uphill battle. Let’s say your organisation has done the basics – you’ve got Cyber Essentials certification, and also started regular penetration testing. Firstly, congratulations – you’re well on your way to stopping the majority of opportunistic attacks. But after the pen test comes the report, and for business who aren’t prepared, a whole new problem emerges: how do you tackle the remediations effectively?
Penetration Testing (also known as pentesting or ethical hacking) is a simulation of an attack on a computer system, network, or web application to identify potential security vulnerabilities and gauge the effectiveness of existing security measures. These are typically performed by cybersecurity professionals with specialised knowledge and experience in identifying and exploiting system vulnerabilities.
Penetration testing is, perhaps, the most effective method to make your web and mobile app more resilient to attacks. No wonder penetration testing is expected to become a $4.5 billion industry by 2025. While penetration testing is powerful, finding the right Pentester can be tiring. And if you end up hiring the wrong individual/company, you might risk your app's security even further. However, we got you covered.
Kroll helps development teams build agile penetration testing programs that prioritize security posture throughout the project life cycle while maintaining a rapid release cadence. When it comes to modern application delivery, speed and agility are the name of the game. Customer demands are driving rapid release cycles, pushing development teams to create new products and to update existing ones at a much more aggressive pace.
