Cybersecurity is a practice of guarding data,
services, networks from threats, attackers, and
hackers in the form of digital attacks. These
digital attacks are called cyberattacks which are
generally aimed to access, modify or destroy
sensitive data. Cyber attackers not only try to
get money from the users but they also interrupt
the usual business process.

What is offensive cybersecurity? Offensive
Cybersecurity, also known as hacking back, refers
to the proactive attack on hackers to disrupt
their operations and defend our information
against future attacks. The offensive
cybersecurity team, referred to as RED TEAM, can
seize the cyberattacks even before penetrating
cyber defenses or damaging the target
systems. As mentioned, Offensive Cyber Security,
which is also referred to as the Red Team,
educates the clients. The Red Team identifies the
security threats. They also notify you about
Intelligent business decisions and allow you to
eliminate your attack surface socially,
physically, and digitally. The Red Teams are
independent of the companies and are only hired
when organizations are willing to check their
defenses. The team consists of ethical hackers
who will carefully check the vulnerabilities in
the system and safely exploit them.

Suggestion OSCP is a challenging penetration
testing certification for expert penetration
testers, so if you want to be a senior
penetration tester, you will have to attend this
certification exam at some point in your career.
So, you have to be prepared for it. Make sure to
attend this exam with high knowledge of Linux,
python, and kali. If you have failed this exam,
you can also go for CEH and PenTest
Certification Training that are pretty doable
with no extra effort.

Key points OSCP certification is an advanced
certification that will enhance your career
opportunities. The certification exam itself is
one of the most meticulous cyber security-based
certification exams possible but has a very solid
status amidst penetration testers. Aspiring
penetration testers with comparatively less
experience can go for CEH or PenTest
certifications.
