Develop an action plan
A penetration test helps organisations to understand their current security posture by identifying gaps in security. This enables organisations to develop an action plan to minimise the threat of attack or misuse.
Justify security needs and budgets
A well documented penetration test result helps managers to create a strong business case to justify the need to increase security budget. It also provides concrete facts that clearly convey the need for enhanced security to the executive level.
Stay updated with independent security audit
Security is not a single point solution, but a process that requires due diligence. Security measures need to be examined on a regular basis to discover new threats. A penetration test and an unbiased security analysis enable organisations to focus internal security resources where they are needed most. In addition, the independent security audits are rapidly becoming a requirement for obtaining cyber-security insurance.
Meet regulatory compliances
Meeting regulatory and legislative requirements is a basic requirement to conduct businesses today. Penetration tests help organisations meet these regulatory compliances.
Identify the weakest link
One of the core objectives of an eBusiness initiative is to enable seamless collaboration with strategic partners, suppliers, customers and other stakeholders. To accomplish this goal, organisations allow partners, suppliers, customers and other trusted connections into their networks for B2B exchanges. A well-executed penetration test and security audits help organisations find the weakest links in this complex structure and ensure that all connected entities have a standard baseline for security.
Provide feedback mechanism for security framework
Which one is more accurate?
Once the security practices and infrastructure are in place, a penetration test provides critical validation between business initiatives to enable a security framework that allows for successful implementation at minimal risk.
