Gauntlet

The Gauntlet, in a technical context, refers to a rigorous testing process designed to evaluate the reliability or security of a system, device, or software. It involves subjecting the target to intense, comprehensive scenarios—such as simulated attacks or stress conditions—to identify weaknesses or vulnerabilities. The goal is to ensure robustness and resilience by uncovering issues before real-world threats or failures occur. This approach is commonly used in cybersecurity, hardware testing, and safety assessments to validate that systems can withstand challenging environments and operate securely under pressure.
