Info Sheet: Penetration Testing - Preventing real-world system security attacks
A Penetration Test subjects a system to real-world attacks selected and conducted by security professionals. The benefit of a Penetration Test is to identify the extent to which a system can be compromised and prevent an actual attack from occurring. Test results will show where you need to strengthen your security or let you know that you can sleep better at night.
