Penetration Testing and its Value to the Organization

Details:

You have recently joined Saudi-Technic, a premier security consulting firm just outside of Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia. Saudi-Technic has been approached by a large manufacturing company in Medina City to evaluate and test the security of its network. However, the job is not without its challenges. While the information technology (IT) director understands the value and need for a security and penetration test, other individuals in upper management do not.

You have been asked to prepare a presentation to describe what penetration is and the value that it brings to the organization.

Deliverable:

Prepare and submit a presentation briefing in Microsoft Word. This should be geared towards a non-technicalexecutive management team.

The briefing should include the following elements:

A description and overview of penetration testing.

The value of penetration testing to the organization. This can be demonstrated with case studies, relevant media or news events, etc.

If possible, use at least one example from the Middle East.

A description of at least three types of security tests that will be provided.

An explanation of how the results of the penetration test will help improve security.
