Along with the security vulnerabilities revealed by the penetration test, there is also the advantage of analyzing these vulnerabilities. The objectives of the applied test include many different advantages, from reducing security costs to providing a comprehensive analysis of security capacity. There are many different types of penetration tests. If we list them:
Types of Penetration Tests
