Program

Now there is a resource that illustrates how an organisation can gain as much value from an ethical hack as possible.


The Ethical Hack: A Framework for Business Value Penetration Testing explains the methodologies, framework, and 'unwritten conventions' that ethical hacks should employ to provide the maximum value to organisations that want to harden their security.

This book goes beyond the technical aspects of penetration testing to address the processes and rules of engagement required for successful tests. It examines testing from a strategic perspective. It sheds light on how testing ramifications affect an entire organisation.
