What if breaking into computer systems, tricking people into handing over passwords, and even sneaking into buildings was part of your normal daily routine? That is the reality for penetration testers – or, more broadly, ethical hackers – who get paid to think like criminals so that they can identify and help close security loopholes before the actual bad guys can exploit them.
In this episode of the Unlocked 403 cybersecurity podcast, Becks sits down with ESET penetration testers Tomas Lezovic and Pavol Michalec to give you a peek into the high-stakes world of hacking for good, answering questions like:
- Why are some organizations hesitant to engage third-party pentesters?
- Do businesses still fail at the basics?
- Which sectors and devices require pentesting the most?
- How can you join the ranks of pentesters?
- How can something as innocuous as a ladder help breach an organization’s defenses?
