Penetration Testing
A Penetration Test (or Pentest as it is colloquially known) is a set of procedures designed to bypass the security controls of an IT system in order to test that system's resistance to attack. Essentially it is a form of ethical hacking to identify and assess vulnerabilities in your computer systems before they are found by the wrong people.
Regular Pen Testing will provide management with confidence that the organisation's IT systems are secure from attack and provide reassurance to customers (who are more aware than ever before of the potential threat of online information theft) that their data is adequately protected.
Not only is this sort of Security Vulnerability Assessment a key requirement in determining whether security policies are effective, Penetration Testing is also essential for compliance to financial regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, compliance to PCI DSS for online payments, and for certification to standards such as ISO 27001.
