WhatWorks Webcast: "Be a Life Saver (Not a Fear Monger): Making
Penetration Testing Work for Your Organization"
Tuesday, March 27, 2007 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
Featuring: Jerry Shenk
https://www.sans.org/webcasts/show.php?webcastid=90856
Sponsored by: Core Security

The sheer mention of penetration testing can elicit fear
from colleagues and clients - but it doesn't have to be a scary
experience. On the contrary, it can help them avoid truly frightening
data breaches, DoS attacks, virus outbreaks and more.

Please join Jerry Shenk, SANS senior analyst, for a free webcast:
"Be a Life Saver (Not a Fear Monger): Making Penetration Testing Work
for Your Organization"

This webcast is ideal for anyone seeking to make the most of
penetration testing - whether you're a security engineer who wants to
add value to your services, or a system admin wondering what impact
pen testing will have on you and your infrastructure. You'll learn:

    * How pen testing can pick up where vulnerability scans leave off
    * What information you should gather before performing a test
    * When to outsource and when to do it yourself
    * What to do with pen testing results - and how much weight to put on them
    * How to ensure the stability of production systems during testing

Most importantly, you'll learn how a team approach to penetration
testing can strengthen information security, while making everyone
look good in the process.

Jerry Shenk: Jerry currently serves as Senior Analyst for the SANS
institute. Since 1984, he has consulted with companies, financial
institutions and educational institutions on issues of network design,
security, forensic analysis and penetration testing. His experience
spans small home-office systems to global networks. Along with some
vendor-specific certifications, Jerry holds 5 GIAC certifications:
GCIA, GCIH, GCFW, GSNA and GCFA.
