Penetration Test, Vulnerability Scan or Red Team: Which Do You Actually Need?
Security testing is one of the most valuable ways to understand how well your organisation is protected.
The challenge is knowing which type of testing is right for your organisation.
Penetration testing, vulnerability scanning and Red Teaming are often grouped together, but they answer very different questions, provide different levels of assurance and are designed to achieve different outcomes.
This webinar is designed to help organisations understand the purpose of each approach and when each one is most appropriate.
Penetration Test, Vulnerability Scan or Red Team: Which Do You Actually Need? provides a practical, jargon-free explanation of the most common forms of security testing, helping organisations understand what each test is designed to identify, the value it provides and how to choose an approach based on their objectives rather than simply selecting the most familiar term.
We'll also explore some of the common misconceptions around security testing and explain the questions organisations should ask before commissioning any assessment.
Date: Wednesday 19 August
Time: 2:00pm
