Glossary Term:
Penetration Testing

A pentest is a method of evaluating the security of a network or system from internal or external threats. Pentests are part of a full security audit and typically exploit combination of weaknesses to gain access, and then evaluate the capability of the network's defenders to detect and respond to the penetration.
