Core Impact 
Core Impact elevates the practice of penetration testing to the new standards of quality required by today's organizations. The application provides you with not only a comprehensive and scalable framework in which to perform penetration tests, but also a controlled environment in which to perform them. Core Impact allows you to do the following:
- Automate the penetration testing process, targeting hosts, users, web applications, WiFi networks and network devices.
- Safely and efficiently determine how a malicious attacker might gain access to or disrupt your information assets.
- Define and execute a repeatable and scalable testing methodology.
- Increase team productivity.
- Leverage security knowledge and expertise across penetration tests.
The chapters that follow teach you how to use Core Impact as efficiently as possible so you can rapidly achieve each one of these goals. If you have already installed Core Impact and created a Workspace, you can also get a jump-start and view the available Quick Guides which will guide you through some basic penetration tests with Core Impact.

These tiered editions provide the versatility needed to allow organizations to build their pen testing program at a reasonable pace and price.
