You mean, like the whole IT industry - and in fact pretty well any industry ?
Such terms are routinely used because they make speech and writing less
verbose. I did my apprenticeship in an engineering (plenty of acronyms there)
firm that was also a supplier to the UK's navy - the defence field is a sea of
acronyms* :-)
But back to our world, "pen testing" is a common term. A few seconds with
${preferred_search_engine} would come up with a definition.
* I was involved in software, and one day for a bit of light amusement decided
to fully expand the acronym of something I was working on. Thing is, some of
the letters in the acronym were in fact initial of other acronyms, and by the
time I'd fully expended all the levels I think a 6 letter acronym became a
whole paragraph !
