Why It's Important
There are two main reasons why Penetration Testing is important: 1) it is required for compliance with requirements such as HIPAA or FISMA or 2) to discover any deficiencies in your networks. With growing threats, increasing attack sophistication, mandates for security compliance, and the pressure to protect corporate data, it is important to ensure your organization's defenses functioning as designed.
