Penetration testing is an invaluable process for a number of reasons, including the following:

• Minimal security breach potential ensures system reliability.
• Complies with regulatory or other agencies.
• Demonstrates a good-faith effort to protect customer information

Testing tools include:

• Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) or prebuilt equipment and/or software applications
• Proprietary enterprise applications (EA)
• Potentially compromisable phone and wireless systems
• Physical controls
• Websites (Techopedia)
