The aims of a penetration test are:
- the indentification of weak spots in your IT environment
- the detection of potential mistakes arising from the (faulty) service
- increasing the securityon both the technological and organizational levels, and
- the confirmation of IT security via an external third party
Due to the constant changing of the nature of threats and security-relevant factors in the IT world, a penetration test can be seen as a snapshot. In extreme cases, a system can become vulnerable again immediately after the repair of the weak spots detected in the test, because of new security holes.
Penetration tests serve as a foundation for the formation of security strategies.
