Who really proved the security of networks? If you use a computer "on line" and is used to protect sensitive data should be stored to be tested for their safety. Although it is tempting to apply the patch, or have a request to protect the network, it's never that simple. Any company that has been thought hacked into your network was safe.
Why, if safety tests could be important? Peace of mind. Tests with appropriate security measures for companies with less chance of loss of customer credit information of a personal attack or identity theft or monetary that the company be held liable. Liability in these cases is a difficult thing because it concerned the interpretation of liability on how a company tries to protect its user base depends.
How safety tests? In many cases, it does test their software applications, computer systems or network for vulnerabilities and no physical access is possible from outside the site. This can be advantageous because it keeps everyone, including customers, employees or competitors to know something happened and it allows them to draw wrong conclusions. The testers work off-site to connect to the network with the customer's permission, and then start designed with different applications for penetration testing. During the test the tester will check the network hardware and software of all known vulnerabilities or theoretical. The tester then all the results with possible recommendations and corrections known to the employer.
So, for the reasons mentioned above and others who are not here to test the application security wise for all companies that have sensitive data stored on computers on the network? No matter how secure a system seems, there is no way to know for sure if you been through a full security review.
