Pentesting

Protect your organization against cyber threats

Pentesting (also known as penetration testing) helps organizations identify and fix vulnerabilities in their IT systems. Controlled attacks by ethical hackers enable companies to protect themselves against cyber threats like ransomware, data breaches and phishing. DEKRA offers independent certification services and extensive support in the field of cybersecurity. Discover how we could use pentesting to help your organization strengthen its IT security.

What is pentesting?

Pentesting involves a simulated cyber attack on an IT system, network or application in order to expose vulnerabilities. This testing is carried out by ethical hackers and helps organisations improve their security before malicious hackers have the chance to exploit vulnerabilities.

Why is pentesting important?

Cyber threats are constantly evolving and organizations are increasingly being confronted with attacks in the form of ransomware, phishing, data breaches, network intrusions and malware infections, etc. Regular pentesting gives organizations the opportunity to:

detect and fix vulnerabilities early
comply with laws and regulations (including the GDPR and NIS2)
build trust with clients and stakeholders
evaluate the effectiveness of existing security measures
