Task description

Personnel support for chosen resilience testing operations

Organization's resilience testing programme is prepared for providing all the necessary supporting expert work for the chosen resilience testing operations. This may include e.g. performance testing, end-to-end testing, penetration testing or source code reviews.

Related resilience testing operations can e.g. include vulnerability scans, other scanning software use, network security assements, physical security reviews or other kinds of gap analyses.
