Offensive Security vs. Defensive Security I recently heard about the terms Offensive Security and Defensive Security. I started to search for the meaning of these terms, and I'd like to share what I've learned with those of you who are new to these topics. So, let's discuss each topic in a simple and clear manner. When it comes to security, there are two different approaches that organizations take: Offensive Security and Defensive Security. Defensive Security is all about protecting your systems and data from attacks. This involves measures like strengthening firewalls to block incoming threats, using encryption to secure data, and creating backups for worst-case scenarios. The goal of Defensive Security is to make it as difficult as possible for attackers to breach your defenses. Offensive Security, on the other hand, involves breaking into computer systems, exploiting software bugs, and finding loopholes in applications to gain unauthorized access. To beat a hacker, you need to think like a hacker, finding vulnerabilities and recommending patches before a cybercriminal does.
