What is Penetration Testing?
Penetration testing, or pen testing as it is often referred to, involves an authorised individual adopting the role of a hacker and attempting to compromise or gain access to a network or an application. The objective is to evaluate and assess an organisation’s security posture and identify, analyse and exploit any vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that present a security risk.
A penetration test is able to evaluate the impact that a vulnerability or a set of vulnerabilities might have on the organisation and to highlight how even non-critical issues can be chained together to cause greater impact. By identifying any risks, they can be treated before they are targeted by malicious hackers.

We want to pass on our thanks to our URM assessor for helping us with the assessment. He made it really very straightforward for us during the remote sessions and during the follow ups to understand what we needed to do to remediate the issues and obtain the certification. He understood our setup and gave us relevant advice, it was a pleasure working with him.
