WHY?
• How does penetration testing help your organisation?
• Part of an audit: security, IT, financial
• Compliance: PCI-DSS, data protection
• To improve your security
PENETRATION TESTING AS A CONTROL
• Penetration testing won’t make a system 100% secure (nothing will)
• Reduces the likelihood that the system can be compromised, and so reduces the risk
• Demonstrates a certain standard of care towards your information
HOW SHOULD IT BE USED
• Perhaps around your most sensitive assets and applications• When new applications are first deployed• As part of the QA and release processes for software development.
• When needed - on demand• Scheduled - check for unexpected changes, new vulnerabilities
• A mix of the above depending on the risks
