Hi, everyone.
My name's Gavin Johnson‑Lynn, and welcome to my course, Pen Testing: Reporting.
I've worked in software development for over 20 years, and I'm
currently an offensive security specialist, improving the security
of software and the business around me.
Creating a pen test report isn't usually something we look forward to doing,
but communicating results to the customer is one of the
most important parts of a pen test.
A good pen test deserves a good report.
In this course, we're going to look at what makes a good report,
what makes a bad one, and try to make the report writing
process a lot less time consuming.
Some of the major topics that we'll cover include the goals you
should keep in mind when creating a report, the recipients of a
report and how to write with them in mind,
ensuring a good level of quality, and tips on
streamlining the report writing process.
By the end of this course,
you will have a good understanding of what will make your reports
effective at communicating their results. Before beginning the course,
you should be familiar with what a pen test is and have read or
created some pen test reports yourself.
I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn all about creating pen test
reports with the Pen Testing: Reporting course, at Pluralsight.
