Penetration Testing
Cybersecurity
Penetration testing (pen testing) is a cybersecurity practice in which ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks on a system, network, or application to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before malicious actors do. It is performed by security professionals using tools like Metasploit, Burp Suite, and Nmap, and is often required for regulatory compliance in industries handling sensitive data.
