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-
technical
executive
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.
The presentation briefing should be 4-6 pages in length, not
including the title and reference pages. Be sure to cite and
reference all sources used. Your paper should follow APA style
guidelines, as appropriate.
It is strongly encouraged that you submit all assignments to the
Turnitin Originality Check prior to submitting it to your
instructor for grading. If you are unsure how to submit an
assignment to the Originality Check tool, please review the
Turnitin Originality Check Student Guide
for step-by-step instructions.
