Hackers are cybersecurity professionals who are capable of breaching security systems. These individuals have a significant mathematical, coding, and/or analytic background. They try to hack into the networks to access information without authorization. The purpose of this is to identify weaknesses in the security systems that are in place and help determine how to improve enterprise information security. In essence, they assess the IT security risk of an organization. A Hacker evaluates system security configurations, evaluates findings and performs root cause analysis. A hacker performs analysis of complex software systems to determine both functionality and intent of software systems; Contributes to the design, development and implementation of countermeasures, system integration, and tools specific to Cyber and Information Operations; And prepares and presents technical reports and briefings to Technical and Executive teams. Hackers perform documentation, vetting and weaponization of identified vulnerabilities through reverse engineering. The primary objective of a Hacker is to ensure that the computer systems they work with are safe and cannot be accessed without authorization. They need to be aware of new software and hardware that can improve computer security since they play a key role in determining the security needs of clients. When they attempt to hack into the system, they produce reports detailing their attempts and the conclusions they've reached about the effectiveness of the security systems that are in place. They are responsible for the entire lifecycle of these client engagements starting from analyzing the client business and security environment, conducting in depth analysis of problem areas, developing proposals for clients to address these areas incorporating elements of overall IBM Security strategy, pitch the proposals to the client and cascade information to the other teams on recommended countermeasures. Focuses on Individual/Team/ Department Operational Objectives.
