Penetration testing, often called "ethical hacking," is a controlled security assessment where cybersecurity
experts simulate real-world attacks on your systems, applications, and networks. The goal is to provide your
business with a proactive defense strategy, helping uncover your vulnerabilities before malicious actors do.
Forge Path's experienced team uses a comprehensive methodology, combining hands-on expertise with automated
tools to uncover complex, multi-step vulnerabilities. Through our "offensive defense" approach, we work closely
with your team to design a bespoke program, turning penetration testing into a valuable partnership that drives
lasting security improvements aligned with your business goals.
