What is Cyber Security Testing?
Ensuring data accuracy, privacy, and access for authorized users is the main objective of cyber security testing. To find out how well your cyber security strategy works against a potential assault, cyber security testing uses a range of techniques and strategies. As a result, we concentrate on the CIA Triad—confidentiality, integrity, and availability—three essential components of security. IAS conducts a wide range of cyber security testing and gives our clients thorough results.
Why Cyber Security Testing and What Can it Prevent?
Cybersecurity testing lowers the danger of loss or theft while shielding companies from cyberattacks, data breaches, and unauthorized user access to networks and data.Your network’s undiscovered weaknesses give hackers complete access. You may test and secure your IT infrastructure by hiring professional cyber security testing companies and doing security tests internally, but you won’t know if your business is susceptible to a cyberattack until it’s too late.
One of the most well-known and popular types of cyber security testing is IAS’s penetration testing. Pen testing, sometimes referred to as penetration testing, assists businesses in locating weaknesses in their IT infrastructure. IAS assists you in identifying your company’s vulnerabilities and figuring out how to address them as the first step in preventing a breach.
