Abstract

Understand that cyber attacks are not random but instead are executed with deliberate intent and specific purpose. Ö Identify many of the internal penetration approaches to achieve security breaches. Ö Discover the most common external penetration tactics directed against systems. Ö Come to realize the part that people play in the breach of systems. Ö Recognize that there are many components that are vulnerable to attacks that are outside an individual’s or organization’s zone of control.
