Understanding Penetration Testing
Penetration testing, or “pen testing,” is a simulated cyberattack against a computer system to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors. It involves ethical hackers attempting to breach security defenses to uncover weaknesses in networks, applications, or devices.
For healthcare organizations and vendors, penetration testing may include:
- Network penetration testing
- Application security testing
- Cloud security testing
- Vulnerability scanning
For healthcare organizations, penetration testing is essential to ensure that systems protecting sensitive patient information are secure. Meditology delivers comprehensive penetration testing services that are aligned with industry standards like MITRE, OWASP, and OSSTMM to help healthcare organizations and vendors identify and rectify vulnerabilities before they become a major issue.
