one of the steps and methods for testing your cyber firewall parameters and check the health

2. to find security vulnerabilities that a hacker could exploit to either steal or manipulate your
data. Penetration testing these days can be executed and performed automatically by software
applications or can be performed manually. The process involves gathering intel about the
target before the test, analysing the data to spot possible entry points, attempting to breach in
- either virtually or for real - and reporting back the findings to the parent company so that
they can learn about their flaws and work on fixing them immediately. Penetration tests are an
integral component of a full security audit. For example, the Payment Card Industry Data
Security Standard requires penetration testing on a regular schedule, and each time after their
system undergoes changes or updation.
However, every organisation should perform pen testing regularly - ideally, at least once a year
- to keep up with latest hacking methods, to better inform network security and IT
management. In addition to conducting regulatory-mandated analysis and assessments,
penetration tests may also be run whenever an organization:
● adds new network infrastructure or applications
● makes significant upgrades or modifications to its applications or infrastructure
● establishes offices in new locations
● applies security patches
● modifies end-user policies
