Pentesting
A pentest – short for penetration test – is a simulated hacker attack on your IT infrastructure. It specifically uncovers vulnerabilities in your systems before they can be exploited by real attackers. Important, the testing needs to be performed 24/7. The attackers do not sleep and new security issues rise up every minute.
