Penetration testing, also referred to as pen testing or ethical hacking, is the authorized evaluation of a computer system, network, application, or device in order to identify security vulnerabilities and weaknesses in order to provide recommendations for security hardening. Pen testing allows organizations and developers to identify potential risks and vulnerabilities before they can be discovered and exploited by malicious actors or unauthorized users. With cybercrime being on the rise, the need for dedicated professionals who can keep our data and networks safe has never been higher.
