A penetration test evaluates an infrastructure’s security by safely exploiting vulnerabilities that may exist in operating systems, application errors, or user behavior. The penetration test aims to assess the effectiveness of security measures and uncover any potential exploits or backdoors that might be present in computer systems, which cybercriminals could use to gain unauthorized access or conduct malicious activities.
