Penetration Testing Services Discover Exploitable Vulnerabilities and Get Ahead of Threat Actors Overview Pen Testing Services Optiv Approach Penetration Testing Edge Upgrades Services Partners Insights Contact Us What is Penetration Testing? Penetration Testing Helps You Discover Vulnerabilities before Threat Actors Do You don’t know what you don’t know. But the bad guys do. Threat actors exploit vulnerabilities in software, hardware, APIs and end-user environments, costing the world over nine trillion dollars in cybercrimes. Your business too can fall prey to the next attack. So, in addition to your regular testing processes, you need a proactive pen testing strategy that goes beyond ad-hoc tests. Penetration testing services help you find unknown vulnerabilities. But more importantly, they teach and inform your future risk calculations. Our team of expert researchers and elite ethical hackers can help you predict and preempt attacks with penetration testing services that “respond” before threat actors get you. As Sun-Tzu advised, become the enemy.
