Penetration testing aims to discover security vulnerabilities and vulnerabilities in the system and infrastructure of the system, by simulating real attacks by professionals in the field of information security.

Types of Penetration Testing

1. Network Penetration Testing:
This type of testing aims to identify vulnerabilities in a network infrastructure and potential weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers.

2. Web Application Penetration Testing:
This testing focuses on identifying vulnerabilities in web applications, including websites, web portals, and web services.

3. Wireless Network Penetration Testing:
This type of testing is specifically designed to assess the security of wireless networks, including Wi-Fi networks. It aims to identify weaknesses in encryption protocols, authentication methods, and access controls, and determine if unauthorized access or data interception is possible.

4. Social Engineering:
Social Engineering testing involves simulating attacks that exploit human psychology and interaction to gain unauthorized access or sensitive information. This can include phishing attacks, impersonation, pretexting, or physical intrusion attempts.

5. Mobile Application Penetration Testing:
this testing focuses on identifying vulnerabilities in mobile apps running on various platforms such as Android and iOS. It examines potential security weaknesses, including insecure data storage, insecure communication, and inadequate authentication and authorization controls.

6. Physical Penetration Testing:
This type of testing involves attempting to breach physical security measures to gain unauthorized access to a facility or sensitive information. It can include bypassing access controls, exploiting weak physical barriers, or tampering with physical devices.

7. Red Team Testing:
: Red Team Testing involves simulating a real-world attack scenario, where a team of skilled professionals acts as an external threat trying to compromise a company's systems. It encompasses a combination of different techniques and approaches to test the overall security posture of an organization.

Penetration Testing Advantages

1.Detection of security vulnerabilities:
Identifying vulnerabilities and weak points in the company's information system, accompanied by a detailed report containing recommendations to enhance security.

2 . Security system evaluation:
Assisting in evaluating the effectiveness of security measures and company policies, helping identify areas that require improvement.

3. Protection of sensitive information:
Assisting in identifying and safeguarding sensitive information that may be at risk in the event of an attack or breach.

4. Compliance with security standards:
Penetration Testing can be used to verify the system's compliance with recognized security standards, such as PCI DSS or HIPAA.

5. Building trust and reliability:
By conducting Penetration Testing and taking measures to address identified vulnerabilities, the company can enhance customer and partner confidence in its ability to protect information.
