SOUTHFIELD ? The Motor City ISSA chapter’s April meeting will feature Mark Stanislav who will offer his perspective on the 10 tips for success when you hire a Pen Tester.

The April 18 meeting also will feature a discussion of how to mitigate 21st century cyberthreats – a five-point plan for selecting enterprise security

Stanislav, CISSP, Security+, Linux+, CCSK, is a senior consultant for a Michigan managed security services provider.

Whether due to compliance needs, best practices, or customer demand, penetration testing is an increasing requirement for many organizations. The process of hiring and working with an Ethical Hacking (EH) services company is much like every other IT contracting process at first glance, but has a number of important details to consider from company selection through post-penetration remediation.

Come learn from a penetration tester the types of information that will allow your organization to have the best experience possible when going through the sometimes agonizing, always interesting, process of a penetration test. Most importantly, questions will be highly encouraged so that your concerns and thoughts can be addressed during this presentation.

Mitigating 21st century cyberthreats – a five-point plan for selecting enterprise security

Organizations have never had so much to gain – and so much to lose – from cyberspace. The relentless forces of network unification of the corporate, factory, home, school and the machine to-machine environments, combined with the industrialisation of cyber-crime, the emergence of hactivism and the development of nation-state cyber warfare are leading to an explosion of risk.

The question is no longer will we be a target, but rather when will we be a target. In a world where executives are increasingly held accountable for the actions of staff they no longer directly control, making good business purchase decisions about security has never been so important but yet so difficult.
