Penetration Testing: Assessing Your Overall Security Before Attackers Do

Overview Network Security has evolved from protecting against "script kiddies" trying to break into networks to combating criminal organizations that have complex and strategic hacking efforts. It has become apparent that there is real money to be made from criminal hacking and this trend is putting companies at substantial risk. The only way to really determine if your company's data is secure is to be a hacker yourself and test your company's security.

This white paper from the SANS Training Institute shows you how to:

Perform penetration tests against your network and find security holes before hackers do
Replicate the types of actions that a malicious attacker would take
Give your company a more accurate representation of your security posture at any given time
And much more
