Penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking or pen-testing, is primarily a framework to test the network, computer system, or web applications, to identify security vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. Moreover, it helps in improving the current security procedures on information systems and supporting applications. Penetration testing can be automated with software applications and it can also be performed manually. The major aim of penetration testing is to find the gap in security system. This can also be used to test an organization's security policy, its adherence to compliance requirements, its employees' security awareness, and the organization's ability to identify and respond to security incidents.
The penetration testing market is estimated reach 3.2 bn by 2023, growing with a CAGR of 27% during the forecast period. The market is expected to witness growth during the forecast period due to the rising need for protection from various cyber-attacks and the growing number of connected device users across the globe. The market is further driven by the increasing deployment of web & cloud-based business applications across organizations. In addition to these, increasing security needs of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the rising Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend across various organizations are expected to propel the penetration testing market growth over the coming years.
