Offensive Security

Offensive security is a proactive approach that involves testing an organization’s security posture from the viewpoint of an adversary. The intent of offensive security is to validate that an organization’s security performs as intended. It can include activities such as ethical hacking and penetration testing to identify and remediate risks that a malicious party could exploit. By employing offensive security methods, security teams can act like attackers to help the organization uncover and eliminate paths of least resistance before attackers can exploit gaps.
