  1. What is Penetration Testing? How likely is it that a hacker can gain access to your system? The best way to find out is for penetration testing to be conducted by someone with experience and the right testing tools. Their goal is to see if they can get into your system and how hard it was for them to do so. Hackers look for easy targets, and they look for ways they can get information and not get caught. This is a type of cyber attack , but one that the business owner authorizes. Don’t worry, they aren’t going to harm your system. Instead, it is all done with a simulation design. This shows you a realistic scenario of what the outcome would be should someone try to hack into your system. The results can be very eye opening. Regular Testing It is a good idea for routine testing to be conducted on any given system at regular intervals. This is because the tools and techniques’ hackers use continue to change all the time. While your system may be very safe with a given penetration test, that could drastically change six months down the road. Make sure such testing is done by an ethical provider that has the right testing methods in place. They should be objective and strive to give you realistic details should there be a hacking attempt on your system. Being proactive and working with them is a better option than seeking help once your system has been hacked into and attacked. Find a provider with experience, one that is easy to work with, and one that delivers such services for an affordable price. During the testing, you can still conduct business as usual. What they will be doing is going to take place behind the scenes. Discuss the Findings Once the penetration testing has been completed, the provider is going to discuss it with you. They will share if they were able to access the system. If they were,

They should explain it all to you so you get a clear picture about your level of vulnerability. It is important to know your website is safe and that you won’t have to worry about anything. You want to be able to focus on your business, and not be fearful hackers will ruin it or take personal data your customers have entered when they placed orders. Strategy to Update Weak Areas The findings of the penetration testing will give you a realistic idea about where you currently stand. Should the provider identify any weak areas, it is important to create a plan to get them taken care of right away. The faster you eliminate those vulnerable issues, the better off your business is going to be. They can help you to create the best strategy to create a stronger defense against hackers. Often, this is a multi-layer system. This ensures should they be able to get through one of the barriers, they will have plenty more to contend with before they can get to where your data is stored. The harder you make it for them, the less of a target you become for hackers. Such testing can also help you to create internal controls that limit which sources of information your employees have access to. It isn’t a good idea to let them all have the same access to data. Instead, they should only be able to access what they need to complete their work related tasks. A professional service provider can help you set up those security protocols in house.
