Network penetration testing is a security assessment process that involves simulating cyberattacks on a network to identify vulnerabilities that could be potentially exploited by hackers. It uses real methods and approaches that a hacker could use to access the system, providing critical information about the security of a network. The process involves ethical hackers, or red teams, using hacking tools and techniques to conduct a mock cyberattack on an organization’s computer system, aiming to gain unauthorized access and reveal any vulnerabilities within the organization.
