Penetration testing can be useful for determining how well the system tolerates real world-style attack patterns, the likelihood level of sophistication an attacker needs to successfully compromise the system, additional countermeasures that could mitigate threats against the system Defenders’ ability to detect attacks and respond appropriately.
Penetration testing can be invaluable, but it is labor-intensive and requires great expertise to minimize the risk to targeted systems. Systems may be damaged or otherwise rendered inoperable during the course of penetration testing, even when the organization benefits in knowing how a system could be rendered inoperable by an intruder.
Although experienced penetration testers can mitigate this risk, it can never be fully eliminated. Penetration testing should be performed only after careful consideration, notification, and planning.

Network segmentation is a common practice to reduce risk within a network environment by restricting access to high-security networks. There are three main types of segmentation that are typically used today:
By isolating less-secure networks from high-secure networks, businesses can ensure that a compromise in the less-secure network does not affect the security of other high-security networks.
In addition to reducing risk, network segmentation can also reduce the time and cost associated with becoming PCI compliant. Through isolation of less-secure networks from the CDE, the requirements defined in the PCI DSS do not apply to the less-secure networks.
A segmentation Penetration Testing is a series of penetration tests used to validate that less-secure networks are not able to communicate with high-secure networks, we are testing the controls required by international standards such as PCI DSS, SWIFT CSP, ISO, NIST CSF to make sure the segmentation in your business is working properly and doesn’t have any security threats.
