Читать книгу Penetration Testing For Dummies - Robert Shimonski - Страница 24

Cybercrime is also known as cyberterrorism and cyberwarfare and can be considered an act of war, especially with foreign actors. Say, for example, someone in Russia runs a few tools acquired on the dark web to penetrate U.S. businesses — to gain access, for instance. One could consider that an act of war or terrorism.

It can get even worse if those same countries (or others) decide to launch attacks to disable power grids, steal secrets, or gain access to military secrets. This makes pen testing and ensuring assets are secure very important. Just as important is re-testing to ensure they remain secure over time.
