Security News > 2020 > November > Penetration testing isn’t enough, you need to activate full offensive operations

While penetration testing is one of the oldest disciplines in computer security, it doesn't quite cover the full range of activities security pros need to undertake to ensure they've got every angle covered.

That's why SANS Institute has grouped its Penetration Testing, Red Team, Purple Team and Exploit Development courses under the umbrella of Offensive Operations.

The move coincides with the launch of a range of new courses and updated courses, including Hacker Tools, Techniques, Exploits and Incident Handling, Cloud Penetration Testing, and Purple Team Tactics - Adversary Emulation for Breach Prevention and Detection.

If you want to whet your appetite for the courses, or just gain an insight into the latest thinking on Offensive Operations, you should join this webcast with curriculum leader Stephen Sims on November 24 at 1530 EST. You can register here.

He'll also dive into those nine in-development courses, and if that wasn't reason enough to tune in, you can win a place on a SANS Offensive Operations course.
