AppSec Careers

Types of Application Security (AppSec) Careers:

• Penetration Testers: Ethical hackers who simulate cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities in applications. They use a variety of tools and techniques to gain unauthorized access to systems and data, just like a real attacker would.

• Red Teamers: Go beyond traditional pentesting by taking a more holistic approach to security assessments. They often involve social engineering, physical security testing, and other creative methods to simulate real-world attack scenarios.

• Bug Bounty Hunters: Independent security researchers who find and report vulnerabilities in software for financial rewards. They work on their own time and can choose which programs to participate in, making it a flexible and potentially lucrative career option.
