Skills You Gain with EC-Council CPENT V2 | Certified Penetration Testing Professional

Penetration testers (also known as ethical hackers or vulnerability testers) look for weaknesses in IT systems, networks and applications using the same knowledge and tactics as criminal hackers. Penetration testers use a series of tools to simulate real-life cyberattacks, identify weak spots and help organizations improve their security posture.

A Network Security Analyst is responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining network and computer security policies.
