Understanding physical penetration testing and how to take advantage of it requires:

• Knowing what physical pen tests are and the overall approach they take
• Appreciating how an actual physical penetration test works in practice
• Scoping best practices into a physical or hybrid pen testing program
• Comparing physical pen tests against other forms of penetration testing

Penetration testing is one of the most robust security testing tools within any cybersecurity program. When implemented effectively, the four phases of penetration testing will help identify gaps in your IT security and bolster your cyberdefenses. Read on to learn more about the penetration testing phases.

Penetration testing is an advanced cybersecurity method that is especially useful in complex environments, such as those that make heavy use of cloud computing. In these cases, cloud pen testing is often required. But even when it’s not mandated, regular penetration testing is considered a best practice for cyber hygiene.
