There are two things that could make people look for any information
related to the penetration testing. First, it could be that someone else
suggests them to perform the testing just to make sure that their
system is safe just before any attack occurred. Second, it could be that
their system has been hacked or penetrated before so that they want to
make sure their new established system is safe and hack proof. Either
one is the reason, it is clear that this testing penetration is needed
in any operation of such organization or anything using computer or
network system.
Moreover there are a couple of things that you have to make sure in
dealing with such penetration testing. This is an important thing to do
therefore have to make sure that everything is at its best to guarantee
its success. First, you have to ask your colleagues if they know such
recommended vendor that could perform the testing. Second, once you find
a vendor ask the vendor for some references of similar organizations as
yours.
Third, ask the vendor for the similar testing projects that they have
done previously. Fourth, ask the vendor for testing report of their
previously done testing so that you could evaluate the report. Fifth,
ask the vendor for the complete information of the staffs that are going
to do the testing for you. You can also do some background check as
well to make sure that the staff is qualified. Sixth, make sure to have
an agreement on the testing that will be performed so that there would
be no miscommunication during the testing. When you consider all of the
things stated above before doing the testing for your system, you will
be able to get the best possible outcome from the penetration testing.
