Information Risk Management Case Study: Penetration Test

The finance sector has largely championed the increasingly interconnected business world. The need for the facilitation of Business-To-Business (B2B) and Business-To-Customer (B2C) commerce, rapid transfers of business intelligence and remote access working has resulted in an ever increasing number of systems, portals and services situated on the publicly-accessible Internet. Regular system and network security assessments that provide the highest levels of assurance are critical for an organisation seeking confidence in its perimeter defences. IRM adds value to the penetration testing process by providing deeply technical business consultants who deliver findings in terms of the necessary business impact analysis to the information security managers charged with ensuring those defences.
