Overview
Penetration testing is a controlled simulation of an attack to find weaknesses before a real attacker does. It is carried out only with the system owner’s written authorisation, and within a scope agreed in advance.
The result is a report that explains each issue with its severity, how to reproduce it and how to fix it; after the fixes, a retest confirms that the problems are resolved.
The problem it solves
Systems never examined from an attacker’s point of view, common web vulnerabilities such as injection or broken access control, and sensitive information unintentionally exposed to the public.
Who it is for
- Businesses that want assurance before launching a new system
- Systems that store sensitive customer data
- Development teams that need an independent assessment
