Automated Penetration Testing: Can IT Afford Not To?

Overview During IDC's research and in-depth interviews, they found compelling reasons why IT executives and team members must adopt Penetration Testing as an integral part of their Security and Vulnerability Management (SVM) processes and programs. In this white paper, IDC examines why organizations need to perform penetration testing now to:

Understand the actual risk to the network posed by specific vulnerabilities
Test the security of the network
Determine if current security investments are actually detecting and preventing attacks

Download the IDC white paper, compliments of Core Security, today.
