Сводка	Penetration testing is an authorized, controlled simulated attack on systems, networks, and applications to evaluate their security defenses. Unlike vulnerability assessment (which identifies weaknesses), penetration testing actively exploits vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact, confirm exploitability, and assess an organization's incident response capabilities.	Vulnerability assessment is a systematic process of identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing security weaknesses in systems, networks, and applications. Using automated scanning tools and manual techniques, organizations discover unpatched software, misconfigurations, weak cryptographic practices, and other exposures that attackers could exploit.
