Technology penetration testing
The answer that is given above stresses the vulnerability analysis when testing the penetration of a given technology. The answer also stresses the need to assess the vulnerability if a given technology when managing vulnerability. In the definition, vulnerability assessment is regarded as putting measures to ensure that the network and the devices that are in the network have the right security baseline. This is due to the fact that networks are being expanded and for that reason the network should be secured (Jansen, & Scarfone, 2008). There is a need to make sure that mobile devices are as secure as possible. According to the author, security of the mobile threats is from the fact that their size is small enough and also the wireless network interface that they use to communicate. These are the issues that are important as developments in mobile networks and devices gets ahead. There is need to have a security framework that will help to secure mobile devices. As networks expand, there is a need to expand the penetration to include personnel, and procedural controls that are a target by attackers. With time, networks expand and there is therefore a need to secure these networks. From the answers, it is clear that the author is concerned with the future of the networks that are set to accommodate mobile devices (Bace, 2009).
