Nowadays, conducting a periodic penetration tests has become a regulatory requirement for many companies. There is already an extensive literature on pentest methodology and a huge variety of powerful tools to facilitate pentesting. However, little has been published so far regarding the implementation of a pentesting program as part of an ISMS.

This webinar strives to shed some light on questions like:
- How successful are pentesters in discovering vulnerabilities?
- What is the best pentesting method?
- How many pentesters do I need?
- How to rate the skill level of a pentester?
- What implication do the corresponding answers have to our risk assessment?

This webinar was presented by Friedhelm Düsterhöft, Managing Director of msdd.neT GmbH offering IT Security consultancy and training services for international companies from the IT-, telecommunications- and financial industry. He has specialized in GRC topics around ISO 27001 and also has long-term experience in vulnerability management and penetration testing.
