Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment: Recommendations of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781495435959)

This document is a guide to the basic technical aspects of conducting information security assessments. It presents technical testing and examination methods and techniques that an organization might use as part of an assessment, and offers insights to assessors on their execution and the potential impact they may have on systems and networks. For an assessment to be successful and have a positive impact on the security posture of a system (and ultimately the entire organization), elements beyond the execution of testing and examination must support the technical process. Suggestions for these activities-including a robust planning process, root cause analysis, and tailored reporting-are also presented in this guide.
