Overview
Penetration Testing
Penetration testing is one of the most effective ways to evaluate an organization’s cybersecurity defenses.
During a penetration test, Fortis Security specialists simulate real-world cyber attacks against systems, applications, and infrastructure to determine whether vulnerabilities can be exploited.
This process allows organizations to understand how attackers might gain access to systems and what security weaknesses must be addressed.
What Penetration Testing Identifies :
- Exploitable software vulnerabilities
- Insecure authentication mechanisms
- Exposed APIs and services
- Network misconfigurations
- Privilege escalation paths
- Sensitive data exposure
