Penetration Test

A penetration test, or pen test, is a simulated cyber attack on a computer system, network, or web application to identify vulnerabilities that a real attacker could exploit. The goal of a pen test is to assess the security of the target and provide recommendations for improving its defenses.

Penetration testing is an essential part of a comprehensive security strategy for any organization that handles sensitive data, such as healthcare providers. With the global healthcare EDI market projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.65% to reach USD 5,876, it's more important than ever to ensure the security of healthcare systems.

Types of Penetration Testing

There are several types of penetration testing, including:

• Network Penetration Testing
• Web Application Penetration Testing
• Wireless Penetration Testing
• Cloud Penetration Testing
• Social Engineering Penetration Testing

Each type of pen test focuses on a specific area of the target's security and requires different techniques and tools.
