As more of the world’s value moves online, cybersecurity becomes more important than ever. Web 3 Penetration testing is a critical component of any comprehensive security strategy for wallets, exchanges, and dApps.

Also known as pen testing, penetration testing is a method of analyzing an organization’s cybersecurity defenses by simulating an attack. During the Web 3 penetration test, a trained ethical hacker attempts to infiltrate and exploit the organization’s systems, using the same tools and strategies a real attacker would. The aim is to identify any vulnerabilities in the system before a hacker does. Penetration testing is crucial for Web3 wallets, exchanges, and dApps. Many of blockchain’s strongest features — like open-source code and immutable smart contracts — also come with security considerations on the flip side. Web3-specific penetration testing takes into account all the variables at play, from Web 2 hosting infrastructure to the latest smart contract features. Web3 Penetration testing is one of the many offerings in the CertiK Security Suite. Get in touch today to secure your wallet, exchange, or dApp and its future.
