Penetration testing, or pen testing, is like an authorised “test attack” on a computer system, network, or application, done by security experts. The goal is to find weak spots or security holes before real attackers can exploit them. It’s similar to hiring someone to try and break into a building to find out where security needs improving.

During a pen test, 7Camber experts follow planned steps: first gathering information about the target system, then scanning it to find possible entry points, trying to break in by exploiting weaknesses, and finally checking how far they can go inside the system. After the test, we provide a clear report explaining the risks found and how to fix them.

This process helps companies understand their security gaps and protect important information from hackers, ensuring their systems are safer and compliant with security standards.
