Penetration testing, also known as pen testing, is a simulated cyber attack against your system to check for exploitable vulnerabilities. It involves ethical hackers who aim to identify and exploit weaknesses in your system before malicious hackers can do so.

Penetration testing helps in identifying vulnerabilities in your system early on, ensuring that they can be fixed before they are exploited by malicious hackers. It protects your business data, preserves your reputation, and can help you to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, avoiding potential fines and penalties.

While both vulnerability assessments and penetration tests aim to identify vulnerabilities, they go about it in different ways. Vulnerability assessments involve a systematic review of your system to identify known vulnerabilities, while penetration testing involves actively trying to exploit these vulnerabilities to see how much damage could potentially be done in a real attack.

A penetration test generally involves the following stages:

1. Planning: defining the scope and objectives of the test, and gathering intelligence on the target system to find ways to infiltrate it.

2. Reconnaissance: gathering additional information on the target system to find ways to infiltrate it.

3. Discovery: identifying vulnerabilities in the system through various methods including automated scans and manual inspection.

4. Exploitation: attempting to exploit the identified vulnerabilities to understand the level of access or control that can be gained.

5. Reporting: documenting the findings, including vulnerabilities found, data that was accessed, and recommendations for securing the system.

It’s generally recommended to conduct penetration testing at least annually. However, you should also consider conducting a test after any significant changes to your system, such as after launching a new application or making substantial updates to existing systems.
