Many security professionals and sys-admins do not have a solid understanding of what a penetration assessment is. What does the penetration tester spend time on? What drives the penetration tester? How do they prioritize what they focus on during an engagement? How do I get the most value out of an engagement?
This presentation will help to answer many of these questions as well as to explain the methodology used by the Rapid7 Professional Services Team.
