Researched and written by Lauren Worth

Penetration testing tools are used to test vulnerabilities within computer systems and applications. These tools work by simulating cyberattacks that target known vulnerabilities as well as general application components in an attempt to breach core systems. Companies conduct penetration tests to uncover new defects and test the security of communication channels and integrations.

While the best penetration testing tools are related to application security software and vulnerability management software, only these tools specifically perform penetration tests. There are also a number of cybersecurity services providers that offer penetration testing services.

To qualify for inclusion in the Penetration Testing category, a product must:

Simulate cyberattacks on computer systems or applications
Gather intelligence on potential known vulnerabilities
Analyze exploits and report on test outcomes
