Penetration testing (pentesting) is a systematic, authorized simulation of adversarial attacks against a product, system, or component to discover security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. In product design, innovation, research and production, pentesting provides empirical evidence of real-world attack paths, enabling engineers to prioritize fixes, harden architectures, and validate security controls throughout the development lifecycle. Typical pentests combine automated scanning with manual exploitation and produce a prioritized report of reproducible findings, risk ratings, and recommended mitigations to support secure release and regulatory compliance.
