Here is what secutiymetrics thinks of a Network Pen Test.
Penetration testing in general is a type of “ethical certified hacking” during which a pen tester will attempt to enter and exploit your IT environments. There are a few types: Segmentation Checks, Application Penetration Tests, Wireless Penetration Tests, and Network Penetration Tests.
Segmentation Checks look for misconfigured firewalls. Application Penetration Tests find security issues that are due to application coding flaws. But when we pen test a network, we look for security issues in the design, implementation, and maintenance of servers, workstations, and network services.
Hackers will target anything that stores, processes or transmits credit card information or personal identifying information (PII). And if you’re in the HIPAA realm, that includes protected health information (PHI). The location(s) at which you store this information are collectively known as the Cardholder Data Environment (CDE).
So, a Network Pen Test is mainly concerned with three areas:
We have this thing of writing a report people another than technician can understand. We put the findings in English so even a door holder can understand the problem. Some of the best technically rep struggle with communicating the finding in a language management will understand. If management can’t understand the issue they can’t make a business decision to manage the risk. We want to at least giving the opportunity to manage to make a decision.
