Penetration testing, commonly known as ethical hacking, is a simulated cyberattack against a computer system to assess its vulnerabilities and security posture. It involves identifying potential entry points for attackers and evaluating the effectiveness of existing security measures, helping organizations proactively strengthen their defences against real-world threats.
Penetration testing is a method of evaluating the security posture of a system or network. It involves identifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses within a computer network. Penetration testing plays a crucial role in identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities. By simulating real-world attacks, it helps organizations strengthen their security defenses and proactively address potential risks.
While coding knowledge can be advantageous, it’s not mandatory. The course covers practical techniques, tools, and methodologies, allowing you to learn and apply penetration testing without extensive coding experience.
