Day in the Life: Cyber Security Penetration Tester

About the video

Cyber Security Penetration Testers are not IT Technicians. Like superheroes, they identify vulnerabilities and threats. Watch to find out what else they do.

About the job

Cyber Security Penetration Testers, also known as "ethical hackers", infiltrate computer systems to find and patch flaws that non-ethical hackers may exploit to create great damage.

Note

While Cyber Security Penetration Testers work regular office hours, they perform testing at night. This minimises the company’s downtime and does not compromise employee productivity.
