“These Aren’t the Scans You’re Looking For”: Penetration Testing vs. Vulnerability Assessments

Webinar Penetration Testing

Webinar Topics

There is a lot of confusion in the security and compliance world over the meaning and intent of some of the industry’s most used terms: penetration testing and vulnerability assessments.

This presentation helps to clearly define the line between these and other terms used in the industry, and the benefits that come from knowing that distinction when it comes to securing your network. The presentation also provides a technical demo to show the issues with relying on ‘automated pen testing’ instead of a true penetration test.

CampusGuard is a proud partner of cybersecurity and compliance services for numerous SUNY institutions throughout the state.
