What is Penetration Testing?
A penetration test (pen test) is an authorized simulated attack performed on a computer system to evaluate its security. Penetration testers use the same tools, techniques, and processes as attackers to find and demonstrate the business impacts of weaknesses in a system. Penetration tests usually simulate a variety of attacks that could threaten a business. They can examine whether a system is robust enough to withstand attacks from authenticated and unauthenticated positions, as well as a range of system roles. With the right scope, a pen test can dive into any aspect of a system.
How does it work?
Internal Pen Test for better Security
An internal penetration test is a simulated cyberattack conducted by security professionals from within the organization's network. Unlike external penetration tests, which assess external-facing systems, internal tests focus on identifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses from within the organization's perimeter.With rising cybersecurity threats, compliance requirements, and penalties for non-compliance, businesses are looking for more ways to be proactive. Your organization’s security approach may seem full proof, but how can you be sure that it will stand up to in the event of employee negligence or error?
Do I Need an Internal Penetration Test?
The short answer is: “it depends”. It is generally recommended that organizations of all sizes and industries conduct regular penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in their network and systems.
If your organization stores sensitive data or is subject to compliance requirements, such as HIPAA or PCI-DSS, then conducting internal penetration testing may be necessary to meet those requirements. Additionally, if your organization has undergone significant changes in the IT environment, such as the introduction of new technologies or software, it may be beneficial to conduct an internal penetration test to ensure that the security posture has not been compromised.

WHy is it important?
Why Conduct an Internal Penetration Test?
The primary objective of an internal penetration test is to identify vulnerabilities in the network or system that could be exploited by an attacker. This information can be used to remediate vulnerabilities and improve the overall security posture of the organization.
An internal penetration test can help evaluate the effectiveness of security controls, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and access controls. This information can be used to improve security controls and ensure that they are functioning as intended.
An internal penetration test can help evaluate an organization’s incident response procedures and identify areas for improvement. This can help ensure that the organization is prepared to respond to a real-world attack.
Some industries, such as healthcare and financial services, have regulatory requirements for conducting penetration testing. Conducting an internal penetration test can help meet these requirements and demonstrate compliance.
