Security testing types?



There are several types of security testing, including:


1. Penetration testing: simulating an attack on a computer system or network to identify vulnerabilities.


2. Vulnerability scanning: automating the process of identifying vulnerabilities in a system or network.


3. Risk assessment: identifying and evaluating potential threats to a system or network.


4. Security auditing: reviewing and verifying the security controls of a system or network.


5. Ethical hacking: legally and ethically hacking into a system or network to identify vulnerabilities and improve security.


6. Social engineering: manipulating or tricking people into divulging sensitive information or performing actions that compromise security.


7. Network security testing: identifying vulnerabilities in network infrastructure and communication protocols.


8. Application security testing: identifying vulnerabilities in software applications.


9. Compliance testing: ensuring that a system or network adheres to industry-specific regulations and standards.


10. Disaster recovery testing: simulating a disaster scenario to test the effectiveness of disaster recovery plans and procedures.
