Penetration testing is the ethical testing of a company's cyber security defences.

Penetration testing can be for a company's entire IT cloud and IT infrastructure, a single application, or for an IoT (Internet of Things) device.
 


A penetration test or "pen test" will emulate the full set of actions that are performed by cyber criminals.  These actions are identified in leading cybersecurity frameworks - and most clearly in the MITRE ATTACK framework.

The objective of a pen test is to report on vulnerabilities that could be exploited, and then report them back to the company, so that the vulnerabilities can be addressed before they are exploited by a cyber attacker.

Penetration testing can be restricted to testing the level of cyber resilience from a technology perspective, or can extend to simulated email phishing tests, where employee cyber awareness and resilience is tested.

Beyond Penetration testing, there is Red Teaming, where a team will test all elements of corporate security defences, including physical security, site access, cyber security, and social engineering elements.  Red Teaming is viewed either as additional to penetration testing, or as an advanced, next level form of penetration test.
