Nitel: Managed Next-Generation Security

By: Nitel USA, see the article here https://www.nitelusa.com/blog/explore-4-levels-of-security-testing/
Cloud 9 Supplier Spotlight: NITEL

Explore Four Levels of Security Testing
- Basic threat – Simulates the most common attacks executed in the wild today. This class of attacker typically uses freely-available, automated attack tools.
- Opportunistic threat – Builds upon the basic threat and simulates an opportunistic attack executed by a skilled attacker that does not spend an extensive amount of time executing highly sophisticated attacks. This type of attacker seeks easy targets (”low-hanging fruit”) and will use a mix of automated tools and manual exploitation to penetrate their targets.
- Targeted threat – Simulates a targeted attack executed by a skilled, patient attacker that has targeted a specific organization. This class of attacker will expend significant resources and effort trying to compromise an organization’s systems.
- Advanced threat – Simulates an advanced attack executed by a highly motivated, well-funded and extremely sophisticated attacker who will exhaust all options for compromise before relenting.
