Acerca deste livro eletrónico

Penetration testing, often referred to as pen testing, is a simulated cyberattack against a computer system, network, or web application to evaluate its security. The primary significance of penetration testing lies in its ability to identify vulnerabilities that malicious actors could exploit. Through this process, security professionals assess the effectiveness of their current security measures while gaining an understanding of how an attacker might gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or system resources. By proactively identifying weaknesses, organizations are better equipped to patch vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, ultimately safeguarding their digital assets and maintaining their reputation in the market.
