IntroductionPenetration testing is one of the primary defenses in the cybersecurity realm, given breaches can have devastating results. Yet, true effectiveness lies not just in uncovering security holes, but also in providing a comprehensive report on how vulnerabilities were discovered during the test and steps taken afterward to fix them. In this blog, we will analyze the challenges of optimum penetration testing report writing and making it possible to identify specific strengths a certain company can boast of.Understanding Penetration TestingPrior to addressing the issues of reporting and remediation, it is important to understand the basics of penetration testing.

IntroductionCybersecurity not only concerns the defense against unauthorized access or attacks on a computer system but also acknowledges that the battle doesn’t stop after any attacker breaches its integrity. Instead, this marks the commencement of a post-exploitation procedure. In other words, once a system is successfully penetrated, the next phase that follows is post-exploitation. This phase involves infiltrators maneuvering through compromised networks, siphoning off confidential information, and preserving continuous accessibility. To effectively mitigate risks and ensure the adequacy of their system’s security, defenders must understand how post-exploitation strategies pertain to different actions required within this phase.Post-Exploitation: The Silent ThreatDefinition and…
