Penetration testing is the practice of testing a computer system, network or web application to find security vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit.

Penetration testing involves gathering information about the target before the test, identifying possible entry points, attempting to break in -- either virtually or for real -- and reporting back the findings.

Penetration testing is a detailed, and comprehensive form of testing that is often broken down into several part's and is performed over a certain allowed period of time.

The reports generated by a penetration test provide the feedback needed for an organization to prioritize the investment it plans to make in its security.
