If you’re getting started with API Penetration Testing, it’s critical to understand not just how APIs work but also how they break. APIs handle sensitive data, enforce permissions, and link services, which makes them a frequent target for attackers. Testing them the way an attacker would is the only way to find the weak points…

Physical penetration testing exposes weaknesses that digital security measures often miss. This article explains what physical penetration testers examine, why these tests are essential, and how to apply the findings effectively. Updates will follow as new tactics and standards develop. Strong firewalls and cybersecurity tools do not protect against a weak door lock or an…

Achieving SOC 2 compliance in 2025 has shifted from a nice-to-have to a baseline requirement for technology companies. Auditors now demand proof that security controls function under real conditions, not just exist in policy documents. This article explains what SOC 2 expects from penetration testing in 2025. If you are managing security or compliance, you…

Social Engineering Penetration Testing is a social engineering assessment that evaluates how vulnerable an organization’s personnel are to manipulation. Instead of targeting a computer system or software, this form of security testing focuses on people, examining how easily attackers could exploit human behaviour to gain access to confidential information or secure areas. According to the…

Wireless Penetration Testing is a security assessment method that targets wireless networks and devices. It simulates attacks against Wi-Fi infrastructures to identify misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, or insecure implementations. The goal is to expose flaws in how wireless technologies are set up or protected so they can be fixed before actual attackers take advantage. Key Takeaways Types…

Over 90% of cyber attacks begin with phishing or other client-side tactics that target employees directly. Attackers exploit everyday tools such as email clients, browsers, and document readers to gain initial access. Client-side penetration testing focuses on these high-risk entry points, helping organizations find and fix vulnerabilities before they’re used in real attacks. Key Takeaways…

Web application penetration testing is a security assessment that simulates attacks on a web application to find vulnerabilities before malicious actors do. It targets flaws like injection points, broken authentication, insecure configurations, and exposed sensitive data.  Web applications are a top target for attackers. According to the 2023 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, web applications…

Network penetration testing simulates real-world attacks to uncover weak points before they are exploited. It focuses on finding the kinds of vulnerabilities attackers actively search for, especially those exposed to the internet. A network pen test helps determine how easily an attacker could break in from the outside. It begins with scanning for exposed systems…

Internal and external penetration tests serve different purposes in assessing an organization’s security. One focuses on threats from within the network, such as a compromised device or insider access.  The other looks at how attackers might exploit systems exposed to the internet. Both tests are important, but they target different risks and require different approaches. …

Penetration testing plays a critical role in assessing an organization’s ability to withstand cyberattacks. Security teams use it to simulate real-world threats, find weak points, and assess how well defenses hold up under pressure. However, not all penetration tests follow the same approach. Different types serve different goals, whether it’s testing external infrastructure, employee behavior,…
