Penetration testing (or pen testing) is a security exercise where a cyber-security expert attempts to find and exploit vulnerabilities in a computer system. The purpose of this simulated attack is to identify any weak spots in a system’s defenses which attackers could take advantage of.
Nines does pen testing at least once a year. Our last pen test was June 2024. See the letter of attestation here. The next pen test is scheduled September 2025.
