Maximising the Benefits from your Penetration Tests

The benefits of conducting regular penetration (pen) testing are irrefutable in improving your organisation’s overall security posture by evaluating web application, internal and external network security.  Benefits include identifying and prioritising risks, preventing costly breaches and ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.  At the same time, they can be expensive, time consuming and potentially disruptive.  In URM’s webinar, we will be advising on how to maximise the benefits and minimise the drawbacks and costs of conducting pentests.  We will provide practical tips on all stages of a penetration test lifecycle, including:

• Determining the purpose of the pen test, e.g., addressing your most sensitive business risks
• Determining the optimum scope.  If it’s too wide, you may lose effectiveness.  If it’s too narrow you may miss opportunities
• Preparing for your pen test, e.g., conducting some basic housekeeping before commencing  
• Engaging with pen test providers, e.g., what questions to ask to get the optimum fit Ensuring that pen tests are conducted in a positive, non-threatening climate
• Getting the most from your penetration test report, e.g., what to look for in your pen test report and what questions to ask.

By attending URM’s webinar, you will receive invaluable advice for maximising the benefit-cost ratio of your penetration tests.
