Exposing weaknesses will allow for your business to be more secure
In the sphere of penetration testing, network services testing is among the most frequently conducted and sought-after types by clients.
This type of test is focused on uncovering the structure of the network, identifying security flaws, and pinpointing weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors. Network services testing can be performed either onsite at the company’s facilities or remotely.
To maximise the protection of sensitive information, it is highly advisable to employ a combination of both approaches.
