What is Penetration Testing?

What is penetration testing?

​

We use tools and skills identical to those used in Cyber attacks to see how your systems handle a real threat. However, unlike a real attack, the result of our testing is understanding of just how secure your systems are and guidance on how to make it better.

​

Besides waiting to see if something gets hacked, penetration testing is the only method we know of that can actually prove if your systems are actually vulnerable to cyber attacks.

​

Who should consider penetration testing?

​

We provide our services for anyone looking to test, audit, and improve the security of their systems. In our experience that's everyone.
