Penetration testing, often referred to as pen testing, is a simulated cyber attack on your systems and networks to identify vulnerabilities and security weaknesses before malicious hackers can exploit them.
Vulnerability scanning is an automated process to identify known vulnerabilities in systems and applications. Penetration testing, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive and manual approach that simulates real-world attacks to identify both known and unknown vulnerabilities.
Scheduling the test can be done within 5 days. The initial report is delivered within 5 business days.
