Penetration testing, also known as pen testing or ethical hacking, is the process of simulating a cyber attack on an organization's computer systems, networks, or applications to assess their security vulnerabilities. A penetration tester attempts to breach the system, just like a malicious hacker would, but with the intention of identifying weaknesses and providing recommendations for improvement. The goal is to help organizations strengthen their defenses and prevent actual attacks from being successful.
