Why Should We Conduct A Penetration Test? |
|
Answer» IT is an integral part of every company's business today. Therefore, not only the amount of business-critical data that is stored on IT systems grows, but also the dependency on a working IT infrastructure. This leads to an increased amount of attacks against IT systems in the FORM of industrial ESPIONAGE, denial of service attacks and other possibilities to significantly harm a company. Important corporate secrets are spied on and sold to competitors. The availability of systems is INTERRUPTED, as a non-working IT is CAUSING more and more problems today. No NEW orders are placed, because competitors somehow always have the better offer. A penetration test gives you information about your systems' vulnerabilities, how probable a successful attack against your infrastructure is and how you can protect yourself against potential security breaches in the future.
