simulated attacks carried out in a controlled environment by third-party security specialists. A pentest will reveal whether an organization is potentially vulnerable to cyberattacks and provides recommendations on how to strengthen its security posture. Given today’s ever evolving cyberthreat landscapes, penetration tests have become one of the most-commonly known security tactics to help organizations uncover critical vulnerabilities, strengthen their security defenses and meet compliance requirements such as PCI DSS.
There is a large demand for skilled professional penetration testers or so-called ‘ethical hackers’, and more and more security professionals pursue relevant certifications such as Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH), Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT), Certified Penetration Tester (CPT) or GIAC Penetration Tester (GPEN). In fact, a 2016 research report revealed that the penetration testing market is estimated to triple in size from USD 594.7 million to USD 1,724.3 million between 2016 and 2021.
