Penetration testing and vulnerability scanning

  Taking all of the information that was discussed in the software security testing portion of the text this week, along with your own independent research, please prepare a 3-5 page analysis for your CIO which will be used to highlight the two different testing approaches which include penetration testing and vulnerability scanning. In your analysis, you will need to perform independent research beyond the course text materials in order to discuss and explain the elements of your evaluation. What are the differences in the two above approaches? What are the pros and cons of each? What authorization would you need to conduct each? What approach would you recommend in regard to application testing?
