Penetration Testing: Analysis of Emerging Technologies and Their Impact on Pen Testing

Abstract

The analysis of emerging technologies and their impact on penetration testing is a crucial aspect of staying ahead in the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity. As new technologies continue to emerge, so do new vulnerabilities and attack vectors that malicious actors can exploit. Therefore, it is imperative for penetration testers to stay updated on the latest trends and advancements in technology in order to effectively assess and mitigate risks. We highlighted the benefits of penetration testing such as compliance to industry regulations, vulnerability identification, enhancing the effectiveness of security controls, strengthening cybersecurity defences, among others. The result of our analysis identifies some of the key features and advancements in the analysis of emerging technologies and their implications for penetration testing.
