Penetration Testing and Approaches
Penetration Testing is a simulated cyberattack that identifies vulnerabilities in your systems, networks, and applications. The goal is to find weaknesses before malicious hackers do, ensuring your business is protected against potential threats.
Black Box
In Black Box testing approach, the tester has no prior knowledge of the system. The test simulates a real-world external attacker who tries to breach the system without any internal access or information. This approach reflects the behavior of an actual hacker from outside the organization.
Grey Box
The Grey Box testing approach combines elements of both Black and White Box testing. The tester has partial knowledge of the system, simulating the perspective of an insider or an attacker with limited access. This helps identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by both external and internal threats.
White Box
In White Box testing approach, the tester has full knowledge of the system, including source code, network topology, and configurations. This allows for an in-depth analysis of the system, identifying vulnerabilities hidden in the architecture or code itself.
