All right.
Welcome back, everyone.
This is news, and this lesson will understand the career options available in this year, 2021.
Of course, this is a bonus lecture.
So I'm not saying this.
These are the only options available, but these are the directly direct opening, I would say, which
is related to your related to what we have been learning, related to the ethical hacking, to be very
precise.
But you can still find you can still go with, you know, entry level job as a cybersecurity analyst.
But what I feel is, you know, there are two critical because I worked in both of them.
So, you know, it's good if you be there on the attack site or you be on the defense side.
I mean, to say either you it's good that you'll be on the penetration testing site or you'll be on
the cybersecurity where you work on the deployment site, deploying cybersecurity solutions, protecting
from threats, you know, deploying the fire was performing a risk assessment, risk management, all
the stuff.
And this is where you be good guy at the same time trying to penetrate your own network.
And finally, one of the reasons I hope you've got the idea, but it's always good to be on one side.
What we have learned so far, it's on the attack and that's where we are talking about penetration testing.
Right.
So I really think that to only two specific to with this.
The first one is penetration tester on, you could say, of penetration testing in Junior Seau.
Are we we also call it has been bestor as a shark for now.
Poindexter, of course, is a guy who works in the company, OK?
He works for an organization.
And another one is the bug bounty specialist.
Bug bounty specialist is more of a kind of freelancer where you become your own boss.
Let me elaborate.
So, of course, as I just told you, it's it's the profile.
It's a profession that you get a job in a multinational organization or maybe any enterprise organization
where they allow you to test their own network, perform network or application penetration testing
or security testing.
And you would have tried to find out the vulnerabilities of the machines and then prepare the report
and share in the meetings that these are the vulnerabilities.
You have to fix it on priority and then you can give them the priority vulnerabilities as well so that
they can start fixing it.
All right.
So this is the one sometime in the penetration test test as a vendor tester as well.
You might have to work on some advanced, persistent threats.
That's where you might have to work on some incidents and corresponding deep, deep, deep, deep.
So that's basically to stick procedures.
That's where you have to work on what if the attack happened in the past?
What was the tools being used?
What was the technique being used and what what were the procedures being used?
So accordingly, you can you know, you can you can help your cybersecurity team to, you know, make
use of those techniques to defend against attacks.
Right.
And you protect from the attackers.
But when you look at the bug bounty specialist, this is where you become your own boss.
How exactly?
And because you you are not really getting a full time job with any organization, but the best part
is you are flexible enough to be, you know, to be working as a freelancer, maybe make your own way.
You can join many on the platform, maybe hacker one, but many more as well.
That's where you can be part of it.
And, you know, you can start exploiting the network.
So how exactly what those platforms are tied to the multinational organizations.
Once you become part of this platform like Hacker One and Boccaro, you would get access to, you know,
to access.
Do you get access to penetrate those organization assets?
Maybe you you get the you get you get to penetrate Destler network, maybe Apple or whomever are part
of those those platforms.
Right.
So that way it's up to you if you take a day off for time to penetrate the network to find the vulnerabilities
or you might take ten days.
Depends on the vulnerabilities as well, but you might take months as well.
But remember this.
If the more the the more critical vulnerabilities you find, the bigger is the bomb.
Do you get it?
You might get up to fifty thousand dollars as well just to find one good one.
It can be even more.
Then the second is you get you get a very faster exposure to the industry because you are working full
time in the organization, that's where you get the complete access to the organization.
Is it?
You get to talk to other people in the organization.
You get to talk to other colleagues, other departments.
You get to know how the network team is working, how the firewall team is working, how to, you know,
turn hunting team is working, how the insider team is working on how exactly somebody everyone working
together to fix a single one or to find the new targets as well.
Right.
So that's where you get a very, very good exposure in a very limited time.
OK, so that's where you grow fast.
OK.
When you look at the backbone, this business, that's where that's where you see most of the folks,
most of the people end up losing the motivation.
And, you know, in a month or so it's happened because most of the time you find some vulnerabilities
and these are not applicable.
You might you know, sometime, you know, you submit someone and you prepare the report and you get
a name that's that's really bad because that's what you describe your school.
But sometimes it's become informational as well.
So it depends.
Sometime you might get some bonda depends.
But and that's where the persistence is really required.
Your determination is really what you have to be persistent enough that, you know, you're learning
fast, although you don't have anybody to coordinate with or to talk to them personally or to, you
know, to understand how they are working.
Or you can always participate in some of the community on this score as well.
But you want people want to open so much very quickly.
All right.
Of course, I'm being open to penetration testing.
Your income would be fixed, Autobus.
But when you talk about being in bug party specialists, there's no limit.
You can go up to maybe 80 K dollars as well, whatever it is.
So, so understand this way.
There is some pros and cons for both the both the scariest.
But you need to make your mind right.
What kind of a person you are.
You like to get exposer very fast while being in touch with any organization or you want to be your
own boss.
You want to learn on your own pace.
And, you know, you want to just enjoy the you know, enjoy working as a freelancer itself.
You can go for bug bounty specialist as well.
I'll be talking about both this great opportunity for you and we'll see you then.
Thank you.
