This is partly due to the ongoing threats of hacks, data breaches, and other security incidents\u2014it\u2019s estimated that around 30,000 websites are attacked each day, often exposing sensitive user data (Bulao, 2020).

As businesses move more of their data to the cloud and adopt more digital applications, they become more vulnerable to cyberattacks. This is where penetration testers come in.<\/p><p>Penetration testers use their knowledge of hacking techniques to lawfully test an organization\u2019s security systems for weaknesses. They attempt to break into the system, just as a malicious hacker would, and report their findings to the organization. This enables the organization to fix vulnerabilities before hackers can exploit them.<\/p><p>Penetration testing is a crucial cybersecurity skill that is in high demand for businesses of all sizes. If you want to become a penetration tester, you need a strong understanding of network security, operating systems, and application security.
