Question 478

Which of the following is MOST important to ensure when planning a black box penetration test?

    Correct Answer: D

    When planning a black box penetration test, it is most important to ensure that the environment and penetration test scope have been determined. This is because black box testing simulates an external attack with no prior knowledge of the internal network, so defining the scope is crucial to focus the efforts and avoid unnecessary risks or compliance issues. Without clearly defined scope and environment, the test might not achieve its objectives or could cause unintended disruption.
