Network Assessments: Cybersecurity, Quackery and Fraud

Presented at RVAsec 2021, Nov. 5, 2021, 11 a.m. (50 minutes).

Network assessments are valuable tools to provide insight into infrastructure. It is no surprise they are used to close 7 out of 10 new business opportunities for managed service providers. Their benefit to business is often an illusion.  This talk covers the basics of assessments, how they are misused, and what companies of all sizes should be doing instead.
