With the rising need for professional hackers, those entering the infosec world are drawn to it, and understandably so — it is an exciting and fascinating career. Still, it sure has nothing to do with magic. Join these conversations to discover what the role entails, the different specializations, and what it takes to learn and become one.

For our next Chats On The Road to RSA Conference 2022, we talk about the need to advance our tools, techniques, and our environment to better handle the risks and threats facing our organization. No surprise, say hello to the cloud.

About the RSAC 2022 Session with Phillip Wylie | Building a Cloud-Based Pentesting Platform
“Often offensive cybersecurity professionals require a way to perform external pentesting of Internet facing targets. This ability to test externally facing systems is nothing new and has been done over the years using various configurations. In this presentation attendees will learn how to build a cloud-based pentesting environment useful to pentesters, red teamers, and bug bounty hunters.”

Join us for this conversation, meet Phillip in San Francisco, and start poking at the cloud to make it rain vulnerabilities!
