PENETRATION TEST

 A penetration test helps organizations to understand their current security posture by

identifying gaps in security. This enables organizations to develop an action plan to
minimize the threat of attack or misuse.

 A well-documented penetration test result, helps managers in creating a strong business

case to justify a needed increase in the security budget or make the security message
heard at the executive level.

 Security is not a single point solution, but a process that requires due diligence. Security
measures need to be examined on a regular basis to discover new threats. A penetration
test and an unbiased security analysis enable organizations to focus internal security
resources where they are needed most. In addition, the independent security audits are
rapidly becoming a requirement for obtaining cyber-security insurance.

 Meeting regulatory and legislative requirements are a must for conducting businesses
today. Penetration testing tools help organizations meet these regulatory compliances.

 One of the core objectives of an e-business initiative is to enable close working with
strategic partners, suppliers, customers and others upon whom the ebusiness depends. To
accomplish this goal, organizations sometimes allow partners, suppliers, B2B exchanges,
customers and other trusted connections into their networks. A well executed penetration
test and security audits help organizations find the weakest links in this complex structure
and ensure that all connected entities have a standard baseline for security.

 Once security practices and infrastructure is in place, a penetration test provides critical
validation feedback between business initiatives and a security framework that allows for
successful implementation at minimal risk.
