Managing A Network Vulnerability Assessment Review by Ben Rothke
Read this book before you scan
When performing vulnerability assessments, a mistake many people make is that they will use simply run some software tools, without taking a big picture look at things.
Such a haphazard approach will not be effective for large enterprise networks. With that, Managing A Network Vulnerability Assessment, gives the reader a all-inclusive framework for running a network vulnerability assessment.
The book goes over issues such as scooping, assessment and scanning methodologies, reports, etc.
The main part of the book is quickly readable at 187 pages.
Appendix A is an ISO 17799 self -assessment checklist, which can be used to validate a system to an external reference. There are a few other checklists.
Before anyone blindly runs a network scanner, they should read this book first to ensure that their scanning is done effectively and productively.
