Not long ago, it was revealed that T-Mobile had been breached by bad actors who convinced employees to switch their SIM cards to let them bypass two-factor identification — reminding us how effective social engineering can still be. Once this communication is blocked, the malicious software essentially becomes inert.

Limited tests can focus on narrower targets such as networks, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, physical security, cloud security, web applications, or other system components. Known as black , white , and gray box pentests, these differ in how much information is provided to the pentester before running the simulated attacks.
