  • Penetration Testing / Ethical Hacking: A form of security analysis that involves simulating an attack on a system, network, or application to identify vulnerabilities and potential weaknesses that could be exploited by cybercriminals. This is typically done with the permission and cooperation of the system owner, and is also known as ethical hacking.
  • Security Engineering: The practice of designing and building secure systems, networks, and applications that are resistant to cyber attacks and other security threats.
  • Incident Response: The process of responding to a security incident, including identifying and containing the attack, assessing the damage, and restoring normal operations as quickly as possible.
  • Security Consulting: The practice of providing expert advice and guidance to organizations on a range of security-related issues, including risk management, compliance, and incident response.
  • Cybersecurity Management: The practice of managing an organization's cybersecurity program, including developing policies and procedures, training employees, and overseeing the implementation of security measures.
  • Security Architecture: The design and structure of an organization's security systems, including hardware, software, and network architecture.
  • Risk Assessment and Management: The process of identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing potential security risks to an organization, and developing strategies to mitigate those risks.
