| Event Details: | Network security testing should be integrated into an organization’s security architecture. The goal of testing network security is to evaluate system security mechanisms and validate that the systems are operating according to established enterprise policies and standards. To maximize the usefulness of these measures and ensure that they are affordable, the organization must find a method to prioritize network-testing activities according to established criteria. This session will examine criteria elements including criticality, testing costs and results benefits. This session will utilize a lab environment to provide students access to various systems and devices. Students will learn about security testing methodologies, what tools are available, and how to select the right tool for a security test.
