Penetration tests are ideal for assessing the current Security status of a system or Web Application. When performing a penetration test, the publically accessible services and backend are examined specifically from the point of view of an attacker. The objective is to determine which vulnerabilities the attacker can identify and how far into the system he can actually penetrate. In addition, developers and administrators are given the assurance that security-relevant parts have been implemented correctly and the system has no known vulnerabilities. Primarily, however, these penetration tests constitute a sound basis on which our Security engineers (see also ‘Support by a Security engineer’) can help you to rectify vulnerabilities and improve systems to a suitably high level of security in the long term.
