Steve needs to have an external team carry out a penetration test on his company’s network and personnel. Which of the following is the type of test that Steve needs to request?

A.
Targeted

B.
Blind

C.
Double-blind

D.
Partial knowledge

Explanation:
A blind test is one in which the assessors only have publicly
available data to work with. The network staff is aware that this type of test will
take place. A double-blind test (stealth assessment) is also a blind test to the
assessor as mentioned previously, plus the security staff is not notified. This
enables the test to evaluate the network’s security level and the staff’s responses,
log monitoring, and escalation processes, and is a more realistic demonstration of
the likely success or failure of an attack.
