A penetration test, or pen test, is a simulated cyberattack against a computer system to identify weaknesses that malicious hackers could use to gain unauthorized access to data and computing resources. Pen tests aim to identify as many potential security threats and vulnerabilities as possible in an environment.

By conducting regular pen tests, organizations can get feedback on the effectiveness of their security processes and improve their overall security posture.
