NAVIGATING THE WORLD OF CYBERSECURITY: AN OVERVIEW OF PENETRATION TESTING TECHNIQUES

Information security is becoming a major concern for businesses as the number of cyber-attacks increase every year. Cybersecurity is a vital part of any organisation’s strategic plan. It is the responsibility of every organisation to have systems in place to protect against cyber threats, and to have a response plan in place should they fall victim. 

The problem with cybersecurity is that it is not just about protecting your own data, but also about protecting your customers’ data too. A breach in your system can lead to a breach of theirs and vice versa.

As a solution to all these concerns, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing helps to find out the security gaps in an IT system, which can lead to cyber-attacks. Nowadays Penetration Testing Services in India is gaining importance among Organisations irrespective of the sectors they belong.

What is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing is a type of security testing that checks for vulnerabilities in a computer system or network. The goal of penetration testing is to find and exploit weaknesses in the system, without being detected.

A penetration tester will usually have an initial meeting with the person who commissioned the test to discuss what they are looking for and what they expect to find. A penetration tester will then use their skills and knowledge to identify vulnerabilities, before exploiting them.

IARM is one of the leading Penetration Testing Service Providers in India with experts in cybersecurity providing multiple range of security services with designing, implementing and maintaining security programs for organisations.

Web Application Penetration Testing
