Quarterly timeline roadmap for ethical hacking

Description:

The image displays a PowerPoint slide titled "Quarterly Timeline Roadmap for Ethical Hacking," which presents a plan for cybersecurity activities across four quarters of the year 2019. The roadmap outlines key cybersecurity tasks and tests that are essential for a comprehensive ethical hacking initiative.

The slide is divided into quarters, each detailing specific activities:

1. Q1 2019: 

Collection of Information, suggesting the initial phase of ethical hacking where information about the target system is gathered.

2. Q2 2019: 

Vulnerability Analysis, where identified systems are examined for potential security weaknesses.

3. Q3 2019: 

External Penetration Testing, indicating attempts to breach systems from outside the network, followed by Internal Connection, suggesting testing from within the network.

4. Q4 2019: 

Continues with Firewall Penetration Testing, Router & Switches Penetration Testing, Wireless Network Penetration Testing, and other activities such as Application Penetration Testing, Gaining & Maintaining Access, Social Engineering Penetration Testing, and Password Decoding.

Each of these activities is represented by an icon, indicating the nature of the task (like a lock for Password Decoding, or a group of people for Social Engineering).
