Physical penetration testing is when ethical hackers assess your physical security measures. This includes premises access controls and surveillance systems. The goal is to determine if they can gain unauthorised entry into your building. Cyber penetration testing looks for weaknesses in your computer systems and data. These weaknesses could include software bugs or network errors. Hackers could exploit these weaknesses from a distance. Both types of testing, although focusing on different areas and using different methods, are important for evaluating your organisation’s security thoroughly. Combining them ensures you address all potential risks effectively.
