Penetration testing is a method used to test the efficacy of security mechanisms in preventing cyber attacks. Businesses or organizations will typically hire companies like Cyfenders to try and bypass existing security layers. Penetration testing detects vulnerabilities that could potentially be used by attackers to gain access to sensitive systems or information. Learn more about penetration testing.
In many cases, penetration tests are the only way to accurately identify and mitigate vulnerabilities that can potentially have a devastating effect on your business. They provide a relatively simple way to assess the level of protection provided by existing security measures at a given point in time. Learn more about how penetration testing protects your business.
There are three fundamental functions that can describe any computer system; (a) input, (b) do something, (c) output. The goal of a penetration test is to observe how different specially crafted inputs affect the way a system operates, and how it affects the output.
Penetration testers will often use a combination of automatic and manual techniques to try to get the tested system to perform tasks which it otherwise would not perform under normal operating conditions. Learn more about our penetration tests.
Cyber attacks and penetration tests typically focus on affecting some combination of the following three aspects of a system or the information it handles: confidentiality – unauthorized access to sensitive or private information, integrity – the accuracy of information handled by a system, and availability – systems and information are available when they are needed.
