Internal Penetration Testing

What Is Internal Penetration Testing?

Internal penetration testing is a type of security assessment that is used to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in an organization's internal network. It is a simulated attack on the internal network of an organization, conducted by a team of security professionals, to identify potential security risks and vulnerabilities. The goal of internal penetration testing is to identify any weaknesses in the internal network that could be exploited by malicious actors, and to provide recommendations for mitigating those risks. Internal penetration testing is typically conducted using a combination of manual and automated techniques, such as port scanning, vulnerability scanning, and social engineering.
