David Müller presents Lutra Security GmbH in the seminar "Careers in Physics"

Since the pandemic at the latest, it has become clear to everyone that our lives are shifting more and more into the digital world. Of course, we must not lose sight of IT security in the process. But how to actually do that? And who tests whether it's really secure in the end? This is where we "good" hackers aka penetration testers come into play. With the methods of the real attackers. With exploits, phishing and even break-ins, we at Lutra Security test the IT security of our customers. It's a profession full of variety, never-ending learning and always new challenges. So it certainly doesn't get boring. But what does a hacker do on a day-to-day basis? And how does one become one? And why is the study of physics an excellent training for this?
