| Aspect | Ethical Hacker | Penetration Tester |
|---|---|---|
| Certifications | CEH, OSCP, CISSP | OSCP, CEH, GPEN |

Both Ethical Hackers and Penetration Testers assess security vulnerabilities, often holding similar certifications and working in comparable environments. Ethical Hackers typically have a broader role, including proactive security measures, while Penetration Testers focus specifically on simulated attacks to identify weaknesses. The terms are often used interchangeably, but Ethical Hacker emphasizes a proactive security mindset, whereas Penetration Tester emphasizes the testing process.
The job duties of an ethical hacker involve testing the security of a computer system or server. In this career, you may also have the job title of penetration tester. Your responsibilities include attempting to hack a system, website, or network to assess the vulnerability. You then make a report or give suggestions based on the outcome of your tests. You may perform research on the site or network before your hacks to find potential cyber vulnerabilities. As an ethical hacker, you must continuously research hacking to keep up with the latest techniques.
