National Security Agency/Central Security Service

The NSA/CSS is the U.S.’s cryptologic organization. Their core missions are to protect national security systems and to produce foreign signals intelligence.

National Security Agency/Central Security Services

The NSA/CSS is home to America’s codemakers and codebreakers. The NSA has provided timely information to U.S. decision makers and military leaders for more than half a century. The Central Security Service was established in 1972 to promote full partnership between NSA and the cryptologic elements of the armed forces.

“The majority of our nation’s intelligence for counterterrorism, hard targets and support to military operations comes from the National Security Agency / Central Security Service. For the good of the nation, it is imperative that NSA/CSS maintain its cryptologic superiority.”

GEN Keith Alexander – Director NSA/Chief CSS

New ITGP Book Launched

Cyber attacks are a risk for every business. In a world where attacks on networks and applications are growing in numbers, and where the penalties incurred by organizations for failing to defend against such attacks are becoming ever steeper; effective Penetration Testing is a necessity. Effective Penetration Testing involves the simulation of a malicious attack against the security measures under test, often using a combination of methods and tools, and conducted by a certificated, ethical professional tester. It is the only way of establishing that your networks and applications are secure.

Penetration Testing: Protecting Networks and Systems, provides a business aligned approach to penetration testing and vulnerability assessment. With a combination of attack and defense methods, this book will provide readers with a greater understanding of the thoughts, motives and actions of an attacker against an organization, helping them to improve the level of protection on their networks and systems.

The book discusses the management and planning side of penetration testing, focusing on the skills one will need to plan, conduct and report on the security of a system, network and organization. This will enable individuals to understand how to make a difference in the reliability and resilience of their organization. Mile2®’s CEO, Raymond Friedman, notes that “This book provides a practitioner with a foundational methodology towards network penetration testing”

Penetration Testing: Protecting Networks and Systems can also be utilised as a Certified Penetration Testing Engineer Exam Prep Guide.

Penetration Testing: Protecting Networks and Systems should be read by cyber security professionals, including Penetration Testers, or those studying for the CPTE Exam. Penetration testing is an essential component in any ISO27001 ISMS – so auditors, security officers and security personnel should also read this book to understand the vital role Penetration Testing plays in protecting organizations from cyber attacks.

Jared Carstensen, Deloitte & Touch, comments; "This book does a great job of being a great resource for a technical person, and provides a fantastic educational insight into penetration testing for a business person".

Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance adds: "This book truly will enable readers to better defend their systems, intellectual property and values"!
