What Is a Penetration Test?
Overview A penetration test subjects a system or a range of systems to real life security tests. The benefit of a complete penetration suite compared to a normal vulnerability scan system is to reach beyond a vulnerability scan test and discover different weaknesses and perform a much more detailed analysis. The user can perform specified attacks in high detail after the specific choices and needs. This is normally done via many advanced techniques and utilities by a security consultant. When performing a Penetration test with the SecPoint Penetrator one has the advantage of a wide range of integrated advanced utilities to do Penetration testing. This includes extensive vulnerability scanning, launching of real exploits, buffer overflow attacks, a wide range of advanced utilities and Denial of Service.
