A security analyst is conducting a security assessment. The following are the 10 things that an analyst should not do when performing this type of assessment:
1) Do not forget to document your work with screenshots and notes.
2) Do not ignore any potential vulnerabilities, even if they seem very unlikely or insignificant.
3) Do not forget to ask for help from someone more knowledgeable in the field than you are at any given time.
4) Do not rely on automated tools alone, as these often miss important issues related to privilege escalation, malware persistence techniques, etc., which may lead to disastrous consequences down the line.
5) Do not assume that all vulnerabilities can be patched in one fell swoop; it’s better to take a more gradual and thoughtful approach. This is the end of the content for this blog post.
