With numerous high profile security breaches in recent years, cybersecurity feels like a particularly urgent issue. But while the media – and, indeed, the wider world – loves stories of modern vulnerabilities and mischievous hackers, there’s often very little attention paid to what causes insecurity and what can practically be done to solve such problems.
To get a better understanding of cybersecurity in 2019, we spoke to Adrian Pruteanu, consultant and self-identifying hacker. He told us about what he actually does as a security consultant, what it’s like working with in-house engineering teams, and how red team/blue team projects work in practice.
Adrian is the author of Becoming the Hacker, a book that details everything you need to know to properly test your software using the latest pentesting techniques.
In this podcast episode, we covered a diverse range of topics, all of which help to uncover the reality of working as a pentester.
