Like any enterprise solution, penetration testing is not a solution that is deployed and begins to work automatically. For producing desirable results and making your systems secure, a good amount of effort is required. If your organization does not have a data protection policy or penetration testing services, it is time to learn how valuable this service is for your organization and contact the cybersecurity experts.
In order to choose an appropriate penetration test for your organization, a great deal of planning and preparation needs to be done. Ideally, you need to have a kickoff meeting and define the scope and objective of the penetration test, followed by discussing the timing and the parties involved.
