What is Penetration Testing?

A simulated cyberattack against a system, network, or application to identify security vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. Penetration testers use the same tools and techniques as attackers but do so with authorization and report their findings. This is a critical part of any security program. Code19 offers penetration testing as part of our cybersecurity services, covering web applications, APIs, mobile apps, and cloud infrastructure.
