Pen Testing 101 - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

A common adage states that “security is only as strong as its weakest link.” Penetration (pen) testing is meant to demonstrate this idea. Through administration of yearly pen tests, these entry points can be identified and patched, providing greater assurance in an application’s defense.
