Pen-testing, Law and National Boundaries
Presentation Outline
Online security breaches are presenting serious challenges
for Australian business. To mitigate this, firms are
increasingly using “penetration testing” or “vulnerability
assessments” as a tool to assess the security of their
computer systems from unauthorised intrusions. This
seminar examines the role of penetration testers in contrast
to hackers, along with the domestic and international legal
issues associated with penetration testing.
