Penetration Testing
what is penetration testing
Penetration testing is a controlled attempt to break into your own website, carried out by people who know how attackers think. It tells you not just what is vulnerable, but how far someone could actually get.

Confirmation once issues have been retested and resolved
Security scanning automatically checks for known vulnerabilities, while penetration testing simulates real-world attacks to uncover weaknesses that automated tools may miss. Together, they provide a more complete picture of your website's security.
They do different jobs. Managed security keeps things patched and protected, while scanning independently checks whether anything has been missed.
Managed security: prevention and maintenance
Security scanning: verification and early detection
Penetration testing: how far an attacker could actually get
Many security issues aren't visible until it's too late. Regular updates, security monitoring, vulnerability scanning and proactive maintenance all play an important role in keeping your website protected.
