Excerpt:
“Forget ‘Thursday is the new Friday’ and ‘brown is the new black.’ When it comes to servers, the really important message is this: ‘Penetration testing is the new vulnerability scanning’ …
“So if you're charged with the responsibility of network security and decide to carry out your own penetration tests with the help of some pen testing software, what should you choose? The free Metasploit framework (like the hackers probably will)? Or a commercial penetration testing tool, like the top-of-the-range Core Impact, from Boston-based Core Security? …
“Core Impact runs on Windows and is very easy to use, has a simple and intuitive interface, and can run powerful penetration tests automatically. It can even generate executive and detailed reports suitable for presentation in a corporate environment.”
