About
Security threats come in many shapes and sizes, and it's difficult to stay on top of the techniques and trends that attackers may use. Our penetration testing team specialises in adopting these methods in order to find vulnerabilities and advise on how to fix them.
The sessions will start with a short "monster of the week" presentation, in which one of our hackers will share information and advice about what we frequently see in the wild. This is followed by an open Q&A where people can share their experiences and questions and hear our penetration testers' responses.
Session topics and leads
Each session will be led by a member of the Jisc penetration testing team. Each session will have an introductory topic related to penetration testing and security, followed by an open forum where we take questions and encourage discussion.
