The case for zero-day testing
02 Sep 2010Here’s a good piece by David Maynor regarding penetration testing and whether or not zero day exploits should be used. I agree with David. With penetration testing, ethical hacking, vulnerability assessments – whatever you want to call them – anything should be fair game. That is if you want a real-world view of what’s at risk. Limiting your tests could skew the results and you’ll end up with a false sense of security when nothing big turns up.

Client Testimonials
“A business associate referred our company to Principle Logic when we were seeking a resource to perform vulnerability /penetration testing for our external and internal networks. We found Kevin Beaver to be professional, well informed, and easy to work with. His testing did not disrupt our networks, and his progress updates were timely.
His final report was very thorough and included security recommendations for our network environment. The executive leadership was so impressed with Kevin’s security expertise, they have extended their agreement to continue to perform periodic testing. We highly recommend Kevin Beaver and Principle Logic as a resource for network security testing.”
