Penetration Testing

Penetration Testing — Authorized testing that simulates attacker techniques to identify exploitable weaknesses in systems and controls.

Why Penetration Testing matters in finance

It provides evidence about whether defenses work under realistic conditions.

Security is also a market-infrastructure question

In financial services, penetration testing should be understood in relation to operational continuity, data integrity, payments, market infrastructure and interconnected dependencies. A control can be technically effective while still leaving material resilience risk if critical services cannot continue or recover during disruption.
