As more DoD weapon and mission support systems become software dependent and networked, government agencies are being increasingly exposed to severe cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

This webinar will help DoD agencies and systems integrators, who support them, understand how pentesting can help secure next generation weapons and mission support systems.

We’ve been conducting penatration tests for decades, but with the technology evolution we’ve seen radical changes in today’s networks, including ubiquitous encryption, the death of the traditional network perimeter, and the advent of new end point devices, including a myriad of IoT devices.

Join Dr. James Stanger CompTIA’s chief technology evangelist and Mike Tanner Global Knowledge’s federal sales director discuss how pentesting has morphed.

Larn the relevant skills that a pen tester should have today, how organizations use a pen tester, and how to usefully “digest” information gained from a pen test.

Here’s What We’ll Cover:

• How the IT environment has changed radically in the last five years
• Penetesting challenges DoD agencies face today
• Responsible pen testing and the hacker lifecycle:
  • Why does the pen tester even exist?
• Understanding the “hacker’s dilemma”
• The “hacker’s dilemma” and the hacker lifecycle:
  • Mapping IoCs to steps in the hacker process
• Responsible pentesting: A demo

Session participants will earn 1 CEU for the following CompTIA certifications PenTest+, A+, Network+, Security+, Cloud+, CySA+, or CASP. Note: To receive the credit you must attend the entire webinar session.

Selenium is a portable framework for testing web applications. Selenium provides a playback (formerly also recording) tool for authoring functional tests without the need to learn a test scripting language (Selenium IDE).

It also provides a test domain-specific language (Selenese) to write tests in a number of popular programming languages, including C#, Groovy, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and Scala.

The tests can then run against most modern web browsers. Selenium deploys on Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms. It is open-source software, released under the Apache 2.0 license: web developers can download and use it without charge.

The term “automation” has heavily influenced how we define the software testing industry. For many years, we’ve used it as a catch-all to determine whether a tester, testing team, or IT organization is successful. But the role of test automation is changing.

Time and experience have shown that an overly broad application of test automation can make even the most talented QA teams less effective. Common mistakes, like using a percentage of test cases automated to define success, are costly and overburden QA teams.

In this web seminar Melissa will re-examine the role of test automation in the QA process. We’ll discuss common misconceptions about test automation and how you can address them. Along the way we will share proven tactics that you can use to make immediate improvements to your QA process.

Learn:

1. The most common misconceptions about test automation and how to correct them
2. How to measure the success of your automation strategy in a way that aligns with your quality goals
3. How to organize and run your teams to create a culture of quality and make your test automation strategy more effective

Presenter:  Melissa Tondi (LinkedIn profile) spent most of her career working with software testing teams. Founder of Denver Mobile and Quality (DMAQ), Past President & Board member of Software Quality Association of Denver (SQuAD), & professional services manager at Rainforest QA: she assisted companies to continuously improve the pursuit of quality software. Melissa has focused on building and organizing teams around three major tenets—”Efficiency, Innovation, &  Culture” using the greatest common denominator (GCD) approach for determining ways team members can assess, implement, and report on day-to-day activities.  In this way the gap between need & value is as small as possible.
