Penetration Testing (Pen Testing):

Purpose: Penetration testing, often referred to as “pen testing” or “ethical hacking,” simulates real-world attacks by attempting to exploit vulnerabilities to determine the extent of potential damage and assess the effectiveness of security defenses.
Methodology: Pen testers, often skilled security professionals, use a combination of automated and manual techniques to probe systems for weaknesses. They attempt to exploit vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access, escalate privileges, or extract sensitive data.
Output: A penetration test provides a detailed report of successful exploits, potential risks, and recommendations for improving security. It can help organizations understand the impact of a successful attack and take proactive measures to strengthen their security.

In an increasingly digital world, the security of our data and systems is paramount. Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing, often abbreviated as VAPT, is a critical process employed by organizations to safeguard their digital assets.
