The penetration test (pentest), as it is known in the network security industry, is a concrete means of security assessment (i.e., audit).

Penetration testing may be a stand-alone effort or an integral part of IT security risk management during the development lifecycle of a product system. The security of a product is not entirely dependent on technical factors in IT, but is also influenced by the best security practices associated with the product. Specifically, efforts to enhance product security involve security requirements analysis, risk analysis, threat modeling, code review, and operational security.

Penetration testing is generally considered the ultimate and most invasive form of security assessment and must be performed by qualified professionals. Prior to the assessment, the person concerned may or may not know the specifics of the target. Penetration testing can be used to evaluate all IT infrastructure, including applications, network devices, operating systems, communications devices, physical security, and human psychology. The result of the permeation test work is a permeation test report. The report is divided into multiple sections that describe the security weaknesses found in the current target system and discuss possible countermeasures and other recommendations for improvement. The full application of penetration testing methodology helps testers to have a deep understanding and thorough analysis of the existing defensive measures in each stage of penetration testing.
