As the world is undergoing digital transformation, more businesses are going online. Today, more and more businesses are migrating to the cloud to benefit from the ease of storage, access, and scalability. Also, due to the pandemic, everyone is working remotely and remote access to data is paramount. This is bringing limitless opportunities to adversaries to attack these resources that are easily accessible over the internet and create havoc for the business. Thus, businesses must put cybersecurity at the center of their mission and conduct regular cybersecurity audits of their applications and infrastructure.
Essentially, cyber security testing involves assessing a company’s network and determining whether or not it is vulnerable to attack and what types of threats are most likely to impact it. It provides clear insights into which systems are operating reliably and need extra protection. Cyber security tests have four components – itemizing the assets in the cyber-system, identifying the weaknesses in the assets that can be exploited, evaluating the severity of those weaknesses to determine exactly how much risk they pose, and offering suitable remedial measures to secure those weaknesses. While cyber security testing is essential for organizations in every industry, those who deal with confidential data, such as financial or medical information, are remarkably advised to conduct regular tests.
