All Things Entry Level Ethical Hacker / Penetration Testing Cyber Security Job - Expert Interview

A comprehensive overview of arguably the most well-known and "sexiest" jobs in cyber security, Penetration Tester or pentester for short. I interview Paul Ihme, Penetration testing expert and co-founder of Soteria, a Charleston-based cyber security services company. This video is part of the "Choose your own cyber adventure" series, where we dive deep into entry-level cyber security jobs to help you understand all dimensions of the opportunities in the field. Hollywood and the media have dramatized this role, most famously with the shadowy hooded hacker image. The role is much larger than that and has a significant amount of report writing that you typically don't see in the Hollywood movie scene. Paul breaks penetration testing down and provides major value on what you need to know before moving in that direction professionally. Thank you, Paul and Soteria, for your time.
