The consequences of successful cyberattacks are greater than ever, given businesses' reliance on digital technologies. Penetration testing leverages a hacker's perspective to identify, prevent, and mitigate security risks before a malicious actor can exploit them. It helps the IT leadership implement smart security upgrades to minimize the chance of a successful attack.
