Q56 Q57 Q58 Q59 Are there any special requirements or considerations Verizon should be aware of (such as testing in a test environment vs. production, specific devices/services/functionality that should NOT be tested, or testing during specific hours of the day)? Did you want the pricing quoted as fixed price or time and material? External Network Penetration Test & Vulnerability Assessment Questions (i.e. testing is external or sourced from the Internet): Would you like Verizon to perform discovery scans on the given subnets to identify active devices on the network or will all active IP s be provided, if so please provide how many subnets and their size (e.g., 20 Class C or /24 networks)? How many "active" devices within the provided networks will be included in the network assessment? (An active device is an accessible IP address with at least one TCP/UDP service/port available or a Protocol such as ICMP). NOTE: If this assessment is for PCI compliance then any hosts or systems that have access to a PCI system is also within scope of PCI. So for example if a PCI system is on a flat internal network then your scope for the PCI assessment is not one active device, but for all your devices on the A56 A57 A58 A59 5 Special requirements if any will be given to the testers before execution. Fixed price We would like vendor to perform a discovery scan.
Q60 Q61 Q62 internal flat network. Would you like Verizon to exploit vulnerabilities or just validate and report their existence (Note: the exploitation of vulnerabilities does NOT include any DoS testing and is the beginning of the penetration testing vs. a vulnerability assessment which is to validate but not exploit vulnerabilities)? How many web applications will be tested from an unauthenticated point of view within the provided network subnets to be tested (i.e. no credentials to be provided to the applications as we are testing as an external attacker would) during the external assessment? For example a customer portal, corporate website, banking application, etc. should be included but please don t include applications such as OWA, SSL VPN interfaces, etc. (Please also list/identify the applications URL s here to be assessed, if available) Are the external networks and applications to be assessed hosted within your own environment or are any hosted by a third party provider at their data center (such as with Akamai for content delivery, web hosting/colocation provider, or other third party data center)? Note: If hosted by a third party you will need to get the appropriate authorization from the 3rd party provider. If an application is Akamai hosted we will need access to the origin server hosted on your network externally or you will need to get A60 A61 2 A62 We would like to exploit vulnerabilities. Hosted on site
Q63 Q64 Q65 authorization to allow testing the application they are hosting for your company. Would you like Verizon to retest the discovered vulnerabilities after you have had a chance to remediate them? (Upon request within 90 days Verizon will perform one retest the identified medium or higher vulnerabilities to verify remediation efforts). Note: If this is a penetration test for PCI compliance then retesting is required once the exploitable vulnerabilities have been remediated/corrected. Internal Network Penetration Test & Vulnerability Assessment Questions (i.e. testing is internal or taking place on site from a customer location): Would you like Verizon to perform discovery scans on the given subnets to identify active devices on the network or will all active IP s be provided, if so please provide how many subnets and their size (e.g., 20 Class C or /24 networks)? How many "active" devices within the provided networks will be included in the network assessment? (An active device is an accessible IP address with at least one TCP/UDP service/port available or a Protocol such as ICMP). NOTE: If this assessment is for PCI compliance then any hosts or systems that have access to a PCI system is also A63 A64 A65 40 A retest would be welcome if within budget. Please provide a price quote separately. We would like vendor to perform a discovery scan.
Q66 Q67 Q68 within scope of PCI. So for example if a PCI system is on a flat internal network then your scope for the PCI assessment is not one active device, but for all your devices on the internal flat network. Would you like Verizon to exploit vulnerabilities or just validate and report their existence (Note: the exploitation of vulnerabilities does NOT include any DoS testing and is the beginning of the penetration testing vs. a vulnerability assessment which is to validate but not exploit vulnerabilities)? Please provide the address where the internal testing will be performed. Note: If the devices to be assessed are at different physical locations but can all be fully accessed remotely from one location, then just provide the one address. If testing will need to take place from multiple physical locations then please indicate the addresses of all the locations. Wireless Vulnerability Assessment Questions: Please provide the address of each building and describe the locations. Such as the approximate distance between each building, the number of buildings at each location, the approximate size or estimated square footage of each building, and the number of floors at each location: (For example, 100 Test Lane, Test, NC 28104/ 3 buildings within 3 city blocks of each other/ 10,000 sq. feet total/5 A66 A67 A68 We would like to exploit vulnerabilities.
