Penetration testing is a simulated cyberattack performed to identify vulnerabilities in a computer system or network. This security assessment method involves authorized ethical hackers attempting to exploit weaknesses in an organization’s digital infrastructure, applications, or protocols. The objective is to discover security flaws before malicious actors can exploit them, providing actionable insights for strengthening defenses. Regular penetration testing is a critical component of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy.
Context

Regulators and industry best practices advocate for frequent and thorough testing to protect against potential exploits and smart contract vulnerabilities. The ongoing focus is on continuous security assessments to maintain the integrity of decentralized systems and user assets.
