For anyone who
works in IT especially IT security professionals,
the word Hacker might stir up feelings of
angst. At the IDC Security and Continuity
Battling Sophisticated Threats Event 2007,
we want to shed some light on this subject.
Along with other industry gurus, IDC is
giving you the opportunity to hear from
Chris Gatford from Pure Hacking who will
provide insights into the world of a penetration
tester.
Chris will speak about war stories, Point
& Click Hacking tools and the fun that
can be had with new technologies.
Chris Gatford is a Senior Security Consultant
with Pure Hacking in Sydney, and performs
penetration tests for organisations all
around the world. Pure Hacking specialises
in conducting independent security penetration
testing, including internal and external
penetration testing and application audits,
providing ongoing security management and
executing global agreements for penetration
testing.Chris has reviewed countless IT
environments and has directed and been responsible
for numerous security assessments for a
variety of corporations and government departments.
Ethical hacking or penetration testing
simulates what hackers would do when trying
to attack computer systems. Locating and
detailing the holes in the company’s
existing security measures and providing
recommendations to protect systems and data
are some of the tasks ethical hackers carry
out.
