That is good advice, dogs can bite.
so does my ex.
You better get some shots for that... just in case.

I upgraded my GPU at the weekend - got a cracking deal on 3x EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Hybrid cards - should be £595 retail, but they were ex-display (never used in a system) and got them for £400 each! So upgraded my 1080 SuperClocked to the FTW edition and had a rework of my cooling setup (2 new fans put in, and the others rearranged).
Hitting 200+ fps on all the games I've tried so far!
Still spent £1200 on GPU's. . .
and sold 2 plus my old 1080 SC to cover costs. Free upgrade for me

@kelly give https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzaM6qs7bgA a listen, I'm in love with that cover.
That is really well done. It is strange to see a female bassist in a punk band. Some of those punk does pop covers are really good. I keep going back to "I knew you were trouble" and "Blank Space" when I need a fresh dose of Taylor Swift done right.
Yeah, those covers are awesome, and have you heard the cover of Black Widow by Fame on Fire?
@restoronixsean I don't think you have enough drinks....
Got into the Ghost Recon Wildlands PVP closed Beta, so gonna be playing that tonight...

Walked down to the Toronto waterfront, 2 blocks away. Cloudy and hazy, but only 73F. Drinking a local IPA at the waterfront brewery.
Distinct lake of Canadian pics, I must say.
I'm assuming you mean lack...or you just want pictures of large bodies of water...

There's already one - it's called "Paris".
Yeah I got this war of mine, and the rest of the Deus Ex series that I didn't have (including human revolutions) think thats about it for me....
Heading down to my Sisters for her Birthday and BBQ (hopefully)!

You definitely don't want a pen test, you need a security assessment. There will be plenty of things to fix, and after securing the network then you could do a pen test the following year.
Same thing. What do you think an assessment will do that a pentester won't (and vice versa)?
One is only testing penetration from a set of attacks. Most security vulnerabilities are not penetration so aren't part of that test (like SQL Injection is not penetration) plus it tests attacks, not risks.
Example.. which tells you how long it will take to break through a door, hitting it with a hammer or knowing a lot about the door? If you know enough about the door, you know where it is weak or if the hinges are about to give out. If you just hit it with a hammer, you might get lucky and get in on the first swing or you might never hit it hard enough to break the hinge.
Both are valuable, but one tells you a lot more, typically.
Yes, alot of people use security assessment and pentesting as interchangeable terms but they are much different. Pen testing is only done when you feel you've already covered everything found on a security assessment.
Yes, doing both is definitely good. But if only doing one, it's the assessment that I'd want.
Especially in an org that I am assuming has not run any vuln scans. They are going to have over a year's worth of work if they are lucky.
We would like to see what could be cone 'as is'. Just because we have not had a security report done, does not mean one should assume we would fail it. We have a lot in place and fixed processes, of course, nowhere is 100%, but i'd like to see what an external tester could do with nothing more than the company name. That's all an actual attacker would have.
Unless the attacker was an internal attacker//had links to someone internal to know a bit more...? Never forget that the biggest vulnerability in any business is the fleshy thing in front of the screen.
