Then there’s compliance requirements needed to maintain PCI certification. Penetration testing is a mandatory requirement depending on the annual revenues transacted with credit cards.

At its core a penetration test is a good way to test that both externally facing internet and internal secured network infrastructure is secure and digital assailants can’t reach resources.
