​Principal Penetration Tester

In the cyber security world, a penetration tester - also called ethical hacker or pentester - will help companies identify and resolve cyber weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Penetration testers can be in-house roles, or work within a firm that provides penetration services to clients.

Penetration testers will run what is called a pen test: a simulated cyber attack on a firm's computer system, which will expose what are the main vulnerabilities. The goal will be to understand a firm's cyber weaknesses, and ultimately to reinforce and augment a web application firewall (WAF).
