Penetration tests are essential for keeping your organization secure by simulating real-world cyberattacks to uncover vulnerabilities in your systems. But how do you know when it's time to perform one? Here are 3 key examples: 🚀 Launching New Services or Applications: Before launching new services, applications, or platforms, conducting a penetration test helps identify and mitigate potential security flaws, ensuring a secure rollout. 👥 Mergers and Acquisitions: During mergers or acquisitions, a penetration test is crucial to evaluate the security of the newly integrated systems and networks, identifying any weaknesses that could pose risks to the combined entity. 🚨 Incident History or Suspicion of #Breach: If your organization has recently experienced a security incident or there is a suspicion of a breach, a penetration test can help uncover any compromised areas and strengthen your defenses against future attacks. By staying proactive with #Security testing, your organization can better defend against threats. Learn more here: https://hubs.la/Q02CJHmp0 #Cybersecurity #Cyber #IT #Tech #PenetrationTest #PenTest
