1. What is Pentest and how does it work?

Pentest is a form of assessing the security of information systems by simulated real attacks. Security experts (pentester) will pretend to be hackers, try to find out the way to to penetrate the system to detect vulnerabilities and security risks that cyber criminals can exploit, then propose solutions to strengthen the security fence in the future.

Operating methodPentesters will perform simulated attacks on the system without providing any informationPentesters are provided a piece of information about the system that is about to simulate the attackPentesters are provided full details about the system that needs to simulate the attack
TargetClosely descripting the actual attacks to find vulnerabilities on the systemFind out the risks on the system in case the user is attackedSpecify the major and minor problems of the system, apply and objectively assess the risks of unsafety


Pentesters pretend to be hackers for simulating the real cyber attacks


3. Frequency of performing Pentest
Information technology systems always have vulnerabilities and risks that can be exploited with the development of forms of cyber attacks... Therefore, to ensure the safety of their information systems, businesses should perform pentests every six months or once per year. Some of the best times to deploy Pentest are:

  • Get more network infrastructure or new equipment
  • Update or adjust applications, infrastructure
  • Reinstall the system
  • Updated new security fixes
  • Adjust privacy policy for end users
