A security administrator is being hired to perform a penetration test of a third-party cloud provider as part of an annual security audit. Which of the following is the FIRST step that must be performed?
Haha, can you imagine just diving in and trying random exploits without permission? That's a surefire way to get arrested - or at the very least, fired!
I agree, D is the only correct answer here. Performing a penetration test without explicit authorization could be considered hacking, and that's not something we want to risk.
This is a tricky question, but I think the answer is obvious - we need to get written permission first before doing anything else. Attempting exploits or even scanning for vulnerabilities without permission could get us in legal trouble.
