How important is an intrusion test?

 Intrusion tests allow to find traces of insecurity and dangers previously ignored by the IT team, ensuring better protection of information assets. Among the main benefits of this preventive method, we highlight:

ensuring the security of the user's data;

finding vulnerabilities in applications, systems or any corporate network infrastructure;

detection of aspects of security policy that need to be improved;

generation of knowledge to train developers so that they make fewer mistakes at the code level;

prepare training based on vulnerabilities involving all employees, such as emails with malicious links, etc;

visualization of the negative impacts of potential attacks;

implementing a strengthened and effective security strategy;

preventing loss of financial or corporate data;

protection of brand reputation;

prepare for due compliance with legislation - the General Data Protection Law, for example.

In short, the intrusion test method is part of the proactive attitude that makes companies better prepared to deal with threats.

Technicians are well-versed with the brass tacks of the services/products, which they provide support for. If IT Technicians are unable to resolve a problem, it is escalated to the senior team.

How does an intrusion test work?

Over time, intrusion testing has become more sophisticated. They need to evolve to keep up with the technological complexity that, in turn, also forces the evolution of attacks.
