With the onset and proliferation of technical security breaches across the country, major corporations, organizations, small businesses and even individuals are at risk of data breaches and exploitation by bad actors. The need for technicians with the skills to systematically penetrate organizations’ systems in order to expose any potential risk is greater than ever.
