We have a firewall in place that restricts access to our database and internal services. Do I still need Penetration Testing?

YES!

Having a firewall in place that restrict access to your database and/or internal services doesn’t guarantee your assets will be secured.

We usually consider any restriction integrated by a firewall to be a “Security by Obscurity” mechanism that doesn’t come close to a robust security mitigation approach.  

Anyone who can use a USB drive in a local network, connect to Wifi in your building or access one of your online and public services could also escalate his privileges to gain access to sensitive data.
