Cyber crime is one of the biggest enemies of modern businesses. Every day you can see a new headline related to cybersecurity attack appears in Australian News. Million dollars of sensitive information is getting hacked at an alarming speed. The key to combat the efforts of hackers is to run comprehensive penetration tests throughout the year.  

 

Penetration Testing, also known as Pen Testing, is a kind of Security Testing procedure used in software applications, internal networks, or web applications to unveil vulnerabilities, risks, and threats that an attacker could exploit. The main goal of penetration testing services in Australia is to detect and analyse all possible security weaknesses that are present in the web application.  

 

Why an organisation needs Penetration Testing?  

 

Penetration Testing is significant in an organisation because - 

 

  • 1. Financial sectors such as Banks, the Stock trading market, Investment Banking, want their information to be safe and protected and seek pen testing services to assure safety.  

  •  

  • 2. When any software system gets hacked, and the organisation wants to find security gaps and threats present inside the system to avoid future hacks.  

  •  

  • 3. Proactive Penetration Testing is the excellent defence system against cyber attackers.

  •    

How can penetration testing perform?  

 

The Penetration testing can either be performed by in-house experts or by using tools for pen testing or can outsource services from reputed cybersecurity companies in Australia. The testing method starts with a security practitioner to find vulnerability inside the targeted network.  

 

It is not often seen that a complete network has every service structured correctly, with a well-protected password and fully patched system. When the tester fully understands the network as well as the vulnerability that exists, the tester will use a pen-testing tool to exploit vulnerabilities to gain unwanted access and thus avoid hacking.  

 

Types of Penetration Testing:  

 

There are primarily three types of Penetration testing, and these are: 

  • Black Box Pen TestingThis type of testing is conducted with no knowledge of any technical information related to a network. A tester is only in charge of collecting information from the target network or system.   

  • White Box Pen testing: In this testing method, the tester has given every type of knowledge related to the network and system, which is to be tested that includes IP address schema, source code, operating system details etc.   

  • Grey Box Pen Testing: In this type of pen testing, a tester is given a partial understanding of the system. It can be regarded as an attack by an outside cyber hacker who had unauthorised access to a business’s network infrastructure sensitive documents.  

  •  

Conclusion: A penetration testing is an excellent investment for any SMB companies in Australia that want the network is safe and protected and regular business operations can continue in the case of any service interference.
