Understanding Internal Penetration Testing

Internal penetration testing involves simulating attacks on an organization's internal network to identify vulnerabilities within a specific timeframe. The process often includes deploying a testing device, such as a Kali laptop, to probe the network for weaknesses. This method aims to uncover as many security flaws as possible before the time expires. Unlike Assume Breach testing, which starts from a compromised perspective, traditional internal tests focus on general network vulnerabilities and may overlook the security posture of individual endpoints.
