External penetration testing is a security assessment conducted to find vulnerabilities in an organization's external-facing systems like websites and servers. By simulating real-world attacks, it helps uncover potential security risks that could be exploited by malicious actors, enabling organizations to strengthen their defenses and protect sensitive data.
Internal penetration testing evaluates the security of an organization's internal network, systems, and applications by simulating attacks from within. It helps identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers who gain unauthorized access to the network, allowing organizations to strengthen their defenses and protect against insider threats.
