Penetration Training Testing

Penetration Testing is a process of exploiting known vulnerabilities in a network. Most if not all government agencies around the globe test their network perimeter defense mechanisms continuously to ensure safe cyber boundaries. Cyber attacks did exist a decade ago but they did not create financial mayhem or threatened a nation’s economy to the level in which it is being seen today. Today, as organizations are increasingly becoming networked, information is being exchanged electronically at the speed of thought. Routine tasks rely on computing power for accessing, providing, and storing information. Today an organization’s lackadaisical information security posture may have a negative effect on its profitability or even its existence.
