Workshop on IT Vulnerability Assessments

The 3-day hands-on workshop is designed to provide knowledge for the whole cycle of IT security assessment – planning and tools, practical testing and evaluating the long-term effects of security assessment in an organisation.

IT security assessments provide valuable insights into the maturity level of IT security management in an organisation. In addition, the assessment gives a general overview of the state of IT governance, management processes and procedures as well as a detailed overview of potential vulnerabilities and input for risk management.
