Penetration Testing

Penetration testing (pen testing) is a simulated cyberattack on an organization’s systems, applications, or networks to identify security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by real attackers. It helps assess the effectiveness of security controls and provides recommendations for improving an organization’s overall cybersecurity posture.

Phishing

Phishing is a method used by cybercriminals to trick individuals to reveal sensitive information, most common passwords or financial information such as credit card numbers. A typical approach is to send legitimate looking emails including a link or an attachment which if clicked on, installs malware on the receivers system or prompts the individual to enter sensitive information.
