Penetration Testing

Penetration testing, often shortened to "pen testing," is a proactive cybersecurity practice where ethical hackers, also known as penetration testers, attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in a system, network, or application. It simulates real-world attacks to identify weaknesses that could be leveraged by malicious actors.
