A certain organization has developed an application website to provide services over the Internet. It commissioned a software evaluation agency to conduct software security tests such as source code analysis and fuzz testing. Before the application was launched, the project manager suggested that a penetration test also be carried out on the website. As the security supervisor, you need to outline the advantages of penetration testing compared to source code testing and fuzz testing so that management can make a decision. Which of the following is an advantage of penetration testing? A. Penetration testing simulates real attacks from an attacker’s perspective, enabling the detection of vulnerabilities that arise during operation and maintenance, such as configuration errors. B. Penetration testing is a testing method that uses software instead of human testers, thus making it more efficient. C. Penetration testing relies on human testers rather than software, which results in more accurate tests. D. Penetration testing requires access to the software’s source code, hence it allows for the discovery of more vulnerabilities
