Offers guidance to a security test team in executing technical testing techniques and understanding their impact on systems and networks. In addition, for information security testing to be successful and have a positive impact on a system's security posture (and ultimately the entire organization), there are elements beyond the execution of testing that support the technical testing process. Suggestions for these activities, including a robust planning process, root cause analysis, and tailored reporting are presented.
