Professional Cyber Security Test Planning

About The Course

Every company is faced with having security testing performed using third party security test partners who specialize in testing, but might not know much about your business. So what makes a good test, what questions are to be considered and what do you do with the results? This course will teach you how to do your own critical thinking without having to be a cyber security expert, how to ask the right questions to your security testing partners, how to scope and find the trade-offs between time, budget and relevant threat scenarios. Suitable for security coordinators and project managers, but also security testers themselves.
