Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A penetration test is a simulated attack with the intent of identifying vulnerabilities in an organization's information system. It is typically conducted by an internal audit team or an external security consultant with the consent of the organization being tested. Penetration testing is different from log analysis, intrusion detection systems, and vulnerability scanning, which are all methods of monitoring an organization's information system for potential threats but do not involve a simulated attack.
