5. Understand the Basics of Penetration Testing
Penetration testing is a critical part of information security, and as more
organizations move to cloud-based models and adopt new technologies, the need
for penetration testers will only increase. By identifying and fixing vulnerabilities,
penetration testers can improve the security of organizations’ systems and protect
their data from hackers.
