Most enterprises therefore opt for security solutions that can continuously monitor and manage their security network and systems. Here is where network penetration testing service comes into play because it allows enterprises to run tests easily over the Internet. It is an emerging field in wireless environment. The process of carrying out a penetration test can reveal sensitive information about an organization. It is for this reason penetration testing can be an invaluable technique to any organization's information security program. Network penetration testing services are quite simply services that employ the best security assessment methods that can test the security and network systems of enterprises and see if they are indeed safe from the threats of hackers and other sources. The aim of this paper is to identify known and technical vulnerabilities, risks and threats like Day-to-Day threat analysis, unauthorized logins, personal information modification, pricelist modification, unauthorized funds transfer, breach of customer trust etc. This further would illustrate various penetration testing techniques available to mitigate these risks and threats.
