Pen Testing

Penetration testing (or pen testing) is a security exercise where a cyber-security expert attempts to find and exploit vulnerabilities in a computer system. 

A physical pentest is performed for the purpose of discovering any vulnerabilities and issues in physical assets, such as locks, cameras, sensors, and barriers, that may lead to a breach. For example, a physical pentest can assess whether attackers can gain unauthorized access to a server room.

A penetration test denotes a single event in time, whereas pentesting occurs in real time. You can and should pentest an app, and we want more developers and security teams to ‘pentest apps’ on an ongoing basis.
