22.04.2022 16:00: IT-Security workshop with ETAS GmbH (Bosch Group) on Penetration Tests
Many enterprises use so-called penetration tests as part of their IT security strategy. In a penetration test specialists try to compromise a system or application, exfiltrate sensitive data, deny services or escalate privileges using the same methodology, pratices and tools as external attackers. The results of a penetration test can be used to assess the security of systems and eliminate vulnerabilities.
In this workshop, Finn Steglich und René Reuter from ETAS GmbH (Bosch Group) give insights into the profession and activities of a penetration tester, demonstrate typical project work flows, tell us which competences a penetration tester needs and how a typical work day as penetration tester looks like.
The workshop takes place in room i002 at Nobelstraße 8, 70569 Stuttgart and online at: https://konferenz1.hdm-stuttgart.de/b/dr–cgt-8kj-sa0
