Description

System Infrastructure Penetration Testing (SIPT) involves evaluating the security of an organization's IT infrastructure, including servers, networks, and workstations, to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. This type of testing helps ensure that the systems are resilient against potential threats and compliant with security policies and regulations.
