RE: So yeah...penetration tests

There are many companies that will do an independent, impartial review and there's also plenty of free scans around that cover the basics.

So even though you're not selling anything... what could a small shop do to get a test like this done?

Yes, this is a vendor post. Not selling anything. Just a friendly heads up to not be a statistic.

I have yet to perform an unsuccessful penetration test. Today I breached a customer's system and elevated my authority to *ALLOBJ in eight minutes. Eight. About as long as it takes to make a pot of coffee. Most of the time it takes anywhere from 30-120 minutes to breach a system.

No fancy tools. Nothing magical.

We as a community absolutely have to close our doors better. It's meat and potatoes security hardening.
