What are pentests and does MobieTrain performs them?

šŸ” Simulated cyberattacks

Updated over a week ago

Penetration tests (commonly known as pentests) are simulated cyberattacks designed to identify and fix security vulnerabilities before malicious attackers can exploit them. These tests are an essential part of maintaining a secure digital platform.

šŸ•µļø What Does a Pentest Involve?

  • Authorized Attack Simulation
    Pentests are conducted with full permission from the organization being tested. This ensures a controlled, ethical process that focuses on learning and improving—not causing harm.

  • Identifying Weaknesses
    The main goal is to uncover any flaws in the system's defenses, such as software bugs, misconfigurations, or access control gaps that could be exploited by real attackers.

  • Mimicking Real-World Tactics
    Ethical hackers (a.k.a. penetration testers) use the same techniques that cybercriminals use—like phishing, vulnerability scanning, or exploiting known system weaknesses—to test the platform’s resilience.

  • Reporting & Recommendations
    After the test, a full report is delivered. This outlines any vulnerabilities found, the potential risk they pose, and step-by-step recommendations to fix them.
