Penetration testing techniques are used by a white-hat hacker, also known as an ethical hacker, to examine an organization’s information technology (IT) cybersecurity and find flaws. IT security employees subsequently use the findings of such penetration testing to fix vulnerabilities, tighten security, and reduce the organization’s risk factors.
