What is penetration testing?

Penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking, is a simulated cyberattack against your own computer system to check for exploitable vulnerabilities. It is used to identify weaknesses in systems, networks, and applications before malicious actors can exploit them. The results of a penetration test are used to improve security controls and reduce the risk of successful attacks.
