Introduction to Network Penetration Testing:
Vulnerabilities are being discovered continually by hackers and researchers, and being introduced by new software. Systems, processes, and custom software should be tested frequently to ensure security is maintained over time and with any changes in software. (Source: Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard).
A network penetration test is a critical method of evaluating the security of a computer network. This test simulates an attack from a malicious source and may involve active exploitation of security vulnerabilities.
The deliverables of the penetration test usually include:
- findings of the test
- assessment of the potential impact,
- technical solutions.
The primary objective of the penetration test is to determine:
- the feasibility of an attack, and
- the business impact of a successful malicious exploit.
