Penetration Testing, often known as "pen testing," plays a pivotal role in assessing the security posture of any digital environment. It's a simulated cyber attack where security teams utilise a series of attack techniques to identify and exploit vulnerabilities within systems, applications, and an organisation’s infrastructure. This form of testing is crucial because it evaluates the effectiveness of the organisation's defensive mechanisms against unauthorized access and malicious actors.
