Course Overview
Most outages involving advanced penetration testing are triggered by a change somebody considered routine. Systems supporting this part of technology and systems delivery fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this area of technology and systems delivery under scrutiny. Participants leave with a method for advanced penetration testing, not a set of opinions about it. What blocks progress on the practice within technology and systems delivery is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for the wider technology and systems delivery agenda, not for observers of it. The professional literature on advanced penetration testing converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about the technology and systems delivery capability in their own setting. The final session converts the week's work on this area of technology and systems delivery into commitments with owners and dates.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Set a realistic target state for advanced penetration testing and a defensible route to it.
Build a register of the risks attaching to advanced penetration testing and keep it current.
Design the architecture of advanced penetration testing around its failure modes, not only its happy path.
Plan capacity for advanced penetration testing against measured growth rather than optimism.
Reduce avoidable variation in how advanced penetration testing is carried out across teams.
Build incident response for advanced penetration testing with defined severity and escalation.

Advanced penetration testing: documentation, support and handover
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Who answers for advanced penetration testing, and to whom
- Confirm the support model and escalation path for advanced penetration testing.
- Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in advanced penetration testing.
- Define the trigger that would require advanced penetration testing to be redesigned.

Session 2Setting availability and recovery targets for advanced penetration testing honestly
- Build the internal briefing that explains advanced penetration testing to those affected.
- Apply change control to advanced penetration testing including emergency changes.
- Rank the weaknesses in advanced penetration testing by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.

Advanced penetration testing: backup, recovery and continuity
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Designing advanced penetration testing around how it will fail
- Check that records of advanced penetration testing answer the questions likely to be asked.
- Restore a backup of advanced penetration testing in a test environment and time it.
- Identify the single points of failure in advanced penetration testing.
- Test the failover for advanced penetration testing rather than assuming it works.
Session 2Proving the backup of advanced penetration testing by restoring it

- Review access rights on advanced penetration testing and remove what is no longer needed.
- Establish what evidence demonstrates advanced penetration testing is under control.
- Remove steps in advanced penetration testing that add effort without adding assurance.
