How do they match: Penetration Testers

  • Systems Security Tester

  • Evaluate network system security by conducting simulated internal and external cyberattacks using adversary tools and techniques. Attempt to breach and exploit critical systems and gain access to sensitive information to assess system security.

  • Assess the physical security of servers, systems, or network devices to identify vulnerability to temperature, vandalism, or natural disasters.
  • Conduct network and security system audits, using established criteria.
  • Configure information systems to incorporate principles of least functionality and least access.
  • Identify security system weaknesses, using penetration tests.
  • Test the security of systems by attempting to gain access to networks, Web-based applications, or computers.

  • Analyze security of systems, network, or data.
  • Develop computer or information systems.
  • Evaluate characteristics of equipment or systems.
  • Interpret design or operational test results.
  • Prepare technical or operational reports.
  • Test computer system operations to ensure proper functioning.
  • Test performance of electrical, electronic, mechanical, or integrated systems or equipment.
