What is Penetration Testing?
Penetration testing is when authorized security professionals test an organization's security by attempting to breach systems in the same way a malicious attacker would. The testing team simulates an attack to document weaknesses an attacker would exploit. Then, the target organization analyzes and mitigates the weaknesses, often with the help of the testing team.
Different types of penetration testing are used to test various systems in different situations.
The best way to prevent hackers from accessing your mission critical systems and data is to conduct regular network security penetration testing. RSI Security’s penetration testing services simulate a cyber attack on your existing architecture, uncovering gaps, vulnerabilities, or entry points that malicious actors could possibly exploit during a cyber attack.
Our penetration testing services don’t just let you know where and how hackers might get into your network, it also lets you know how they might behave once they’re in. Penetration testing and cloud computing are essential to ensure that you’re on the same page as your vendors. RSI Security’s cybersecurity penetration testing services put you inside the heads of hackers so you’re one step ahead of them.
Why do you need Penetration Testing?
One of the most critical challenges for IT departments and leaders across industries is determining whether or not your tools, systems, settings, and configurations are working in concert sufficiently to prevent cyber attacks and up to par is it relates to compliance and regulatory agencies.
Penetration and vulnerability testing services are necessary in order to:

Penetration Testing FAQs
Penetration testing should be performed as often as is required by the organizational security policy. It's generally considered good practice to conduct pen testing at least once per year.
Outside of the regular schedule, it's also a good idea to do penetration testing when:
- New systems or applications are added to the network
- Significant upgrades or configuration changes have been made
- The organization moves to a new facility

A penetration tester provides penetration testing services to help test the efficacy of an organization's security controls. Attacks typically follow a pre-defined pattern, such as:
- Initial negotiation
- Attack planning
- Information gathering
- Target exploitation
- Final reporting
Read this blog for more information on how pen testing works in practice. And see below for a breakdown of the specific stages in an external pen test.
There are a variety of web application penetration testing tools, including web browsers, password tools, network scanners, automated testing tools, and other tools and techniques depending on requirements.
The primary purpose of penetration testing is to find security flaws so that they can be fixed before a real attacker takes advantage of any existing vulnerabilities.
The final result of a penetration test is a report on the results of the test and recommendations on how to move forward. In many cases, the testing team will work together with the target organization to address any weaknesses identified during the test, up to and including follow-up tests to determine the efficacy of mitigation efforts.
Penetration testing costs vary significantly, ranging from $4,000 to $100,000. Average costs tend to range from $30,000 to $40,000.
A penetration test report is a document detailing the purpose of the penetration test, how it was executed, the risks associated with any identified vulnerabilities, and proposed next steps.
There are seven stages to an external penetration test:
- Contract – Find a penetration tester or team, reach an agreement regarding services and form a contract.
- Planning and recon – Penetration testers spend time gathering the information they'll need to carry out the test.
- Scanning – Testers scan the network to seek vulnerabilities.
- Gaining access – Testers use the data they've gathered to attempt to gain access to the organization's network and systems.
- Maintaining access – After gaining access without being detected, testers attempt to maintain their foothold in the system.
- Exploitation – Testers will see how extensively they can exploit access to systems before being detected.
- Reporting – Upon completion of the test, a report of the process and results is produced and presented.
You can learn more about a few different types of pen testing from checklists about infrastructure penetration testing, network penetration testing, and web application penetration testing.
Use the results of the penetration test to rectify any existing vulnerabilities and adjust the organizational security policy if needed. Document the process and any changes and use that record and the report from the previous test to plan for the next penetration test.
Pen testers use exploits to test vulnerabilities they identify in a system. These can include pre-existing exploits, custom-written scripts, social engineering, password cracking, and other techniques.
