Penetration
Testing
Sometimes referred to as "ethical hacking", penetration
testing is often misunderstood but can apply to any
organisation with or without an Internet connection. In
today's complex networked environments the potential for
unanticipated exposure to risk is growing and the security
of systems is an ongoing challenge. Of particular
significance are the following concerns:
Financial impact
Damage to
reputation
Business risk
exposure
Legal issues
Loss of Internet
presence (business may even cease)
Attacks are
growing at an alarming rate and no longer are well known
organisations such as banks and government agencies the
only targets.
With the advent of sophisticated, automated exploitation
tools and "point-and-click" hacking, anyone with an network
connection (internet, corporate, internal etc.) is
potentially vulnerable. However, there are steps that can
be taken to mitigate and anticipate this risk for
organisations both large and small.
