S1E2 What’s the Deal with all these Assessments?

In this episode of "ByteWise," we're simplifying the complex world of audits and assessments. If you've ever wondered about the differences between an audit, a risk assessment, a vulnerability assessment, a penetration test, and a vulnerability test, then this is the episode for you. We're going back to basics to explain what each of these terms means, how they differ, and why they're important.

We'll guide you through the purposes of each evaluation, from audits that check for compliance, to risk assessments that identify potential threats, and to pen tests that simulate cyberattacks. Our discussion is designed to be accessible and informative, perfect for those who are curious how the different disciplines view these tools.

We also touch on the typical sequence of these evaluations and their practical applications in a real-world setting.  So, whether you're just looking to brush up on your knowledge or fine-tune your understanding of these tools, tune in to "ByteWise."
