Episode 2 - Penetration Testing 

In this week's episode of appTECH TALK, Mike Miller is diving into penetration testing - what is it, what are the different kinds, and what kind of information can you get from it.

 

 

 

 

What to Know -

Penetration testing is when an organization hires an ethical hacker to check out their network to uncover what vulnerabilities exist.  There are three (3) types of penetrations tests: external, internal, and web application.

Why You Should Care - 

A penetration test can help an organization identify any areas of weakness before the bad guys do.  It is extremely rare that a penetration test results in no findings.  It is key to then remediate and address any vulnerabilities or other findings to ensure your environment is secure.
