View this career for different education levels:

Penetration testers, sometimes known as ethical hackers, are cybersecurity professionals who simulate cyberattacks on computer systems, networks, and applications to identify and fix security vulnerabilities before malicious hackers can exploit them. They use a variety of tools and techniques to mimic real-world attacks, document their findings, and provide recommendations for improving security. Penetration testers often work for specialist security consultancies or large organisations with significant IT infrastructure. The role requires a strong understanding of IT systems, problem-solving skills, and a commitment to ethical standards, as well as keeping up to date with the latest cyber threats.
