Network Penetration Testing: Assess Your Security Before Attackers Do

If your business was hacked tomorrow, do you know what would happen? Protecting your valuable assets and customer data is paramount in today's digital landscape. Alongside robust security software, regular network penetration tests play a critical role, and these tests are precisely what cybersecurity insurers will look for when assessing your policy.

What is Network Penetration Testing?

Network penetration testing is a security test where experts try to hack into an organization's computer network to find vulnerabilities and weaknesses. It's like a "mock" hack to see if a hacker could get in and cause damage. The goal is to identify any problems and fix them before a real hacker can take advantage. It's basically a way to check the security of an organization's network.

How Do Data Breaches Occur?

A data breach occurs when a cybercriminal infiltrates a data source and extracts confidential information. This can be done by accessing a computer or network to steal local files or by bypassing network security remotely. The most common cyber attacks used in data breaches are outlined below.
