Explanation:
Common types of self-testing techniques include: Network Mapping Vulnerability Scanning

techniques are predominantly human-initiated and conducted, while other tests are highly
automated and require less human involvement. The staff that initiates and implements in-house
security testing should have significant security and networking knowledge. These testing techniques
are often combined to gain a more comprehensive assessment of the overall network security
posture. For example, penetration testing almost always includes network mapping and vulnerability
scanning to identify vulnerable hosts and services that may be targeted for later penetration. None
of these tests by themselves will provide a complete picture of the network or its security posture.
