Strengthen Your Cyber Defenses with OpenText Penetration Testing

by | Jun 25, 2025 | OpenText Cybersecurity

In today’s digital landscape, cyber threats are evolving faster than ever. Businesses across New Zealand face increasing pressure to protect sensitive data, maintain compliance, and ensure operational continuity. That’s why penetration testing and vulnerability assessments are no longer optional – they’re essential.

What Is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing, often referred to as “pentesting,” is a simulated cyberattack conducted by security professionals to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in your IT systems, networks, and applications. Unlike automated vulnerability scans, pentesting mimics the tactics of real-world attackers to assess how well your defenses hold up under pressure.

Why Is Penetration Testing Important?
Pentesting plays a critical role in a robust cybersecurity strategy. It helps organisations:
  • Reveal Hidden Vulnerabilities: Discover weaknesses that may not be detected by standard security tools.
  • Evaluate Security Controls: Test the effectiveness of firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and other defenses.
  • Meet Compliance Requirements: Many regulations (e.g., ISO 27001, PCI DSS) require regular security testing.
  • Protect Reputation and Trust: Prevent breaches that could damage customer trust and brand reputation.
  • Reduce Risk Exposure: Proactively address security gaps before they can be exploited.
Why Should Businesses Conduct Regular Penetration Testing?

Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and so is your IT environment. Whether you’re deploying new applications, migrating to the cloud, or expanding remote work capabilities, each change introduces new risks. Regular penetration testing ensures that:

  • Security Keeps Pace with Innovation: As your infrastructure grows, so should your defenses.
  • Threat Intelligence Remains Current: Stay ahead of emerging attack techniques and vulnerabilities.
  • Continuous Improvement Is Achieved: Ongoing testing supports a cycle of learning, remediation, and resilience.
