0Charlene is preparing to conduct a penetration test and has been provided with access to all of her organization’s information about the systems, services, and configurations involved. What type of penetration test is she conducting?
Answer Options
A
A partially known environment test
B
An unknown environment test
C
A known environment test
D
A third- party test
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
Known environment tests provide full information to testers, allowing them to use information about the environment without having to discover it. Partially known environment tests provide some, but not all information about the environment for testers. Unknown environment tests simulate what an attacker would encounter and do not provide information; instead, the testers have to discover it themselves. Third-party tests are conducted by external groups or individuals and may be known, unknown, or partial knowledge tests.
