Part VI

Ethical Hacking Aftermath

In this part . . .

Now that the hard — or at least technical — stuff is over with, it’s time to pull everything together, fix what’s broken, and establish good information security practices to help you move forward.

This part then covers good practices for plugging the security holes within your systems. Finally, this part covers what it takes to manage change within your information systems for long-term success, including outsourcing ethical hacking to help ease the burden of your massive to-do list! That’s what working in IT is all about anyway, right?
