Experienced penetration testing providers will work to minimise the impact of the testing process. This sometimes includes tests being scheduled during off-peak hours, and coordinating with the client’s team to ensure that there is minimal disruption to business operations. Additionally, testing methodologies will prioritise controlled exploitation to avoid causing any damage or downtime to an organisation’s critical systems. Proper planning will mitigate any potential disruptions, allowing organisations to maintain operational continuity while essential security tests are carried out. By collaborating closely with the testing provider, organisations can effectively manage any temporary inconveniences, while prioritising the security of their infrastructure.
