About the White Paper:
It has become commonplace for organizations to test the security of their networks with automated vulnerability analysis tools or by engaging a tiger team to simulate hacker network attacks.

This paper reviews several network vulnerabilities that are often left untested by penetration testing and
discusses possible reasons for their omission.
