What is Penetration Testing?
Penetration testing, or pen testing as it is often referred to, involves an authorised individual adopting the role of a hacker and attempting to compromise or gain access to a network or an application. The objective is to evaluate and assess an organisation’s security posture and identify, analyse and exploit any vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that present a security risk.
A penetration test is able to evaluate the impact that a vulnerability or a set of vulnerabilities might have on the organisation and to highlight how even non-critical issues can be chained together to cause greater impact. By identifying any risks, they can be treated before they are targeted by malicious hackers.

This was a good webinar, thank you. Having it as a webinar rather than face to face worked really well and much more convenient with the new standards for travel and cost being put in place etc. The information was useful and well paced. Would be great to get a copy of the slide deck sent out as well. I missed the first minute or so but it would of been good to see an image of who was presenting as well. And you answered my question as well. Thanks
