Penetration testing is a way of assessing the security of an computing system or network by exploiting security vulnerabilities. It is carried out by ethical hackers, who use the same techniques as malicious attackers, but without causing damage to the tested system or the organization.

Security flaws can exist in many areas, including insecure system configuration, authentication, known  vulnerabilities, and business logic flaws. Penetration testing can identify such flaws, and also test the effectiveness of the organization’s current defenses. The penetration tester’s goal is to demonstrate that an external attacker can identify and exploit a flaw or vulnerability, and show how.

Penetration testing is usually a combination of manual and automated testing. Ethical hackers use a variety of tools to attempt to compromise a tested system—with proper approval and clear definition of the allowed scope of the test. When the hackers discover and exploit vulnerabilities, customers are provided with detailed penetration testing reports with information about the scope of the tests, vulnerabilities found, severity, and remediation recommendations.

  1. Who needs a UK Skilled Worker visa or other work visa?
The United Kingdom’s points-based visa system (previously 5 tier visa  system) is the main UK immigration route for migrants to come to the UK to work, study or train. A number of significant changes were made to the UK visa points based system on 1 December 2020, before the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020. There are very similar UK visa categories that used to come under the Tier 2 visa scheme. You now have the Skilled Worker visa and Intra-Company Transfer visa schemes. It appears that the Boris Johnson Government no longer wants to use the word “Tier”. The new UK visa points system introduced on 1 December 2020 is in many ways very similar to the previous four ‘tiers’ points based immigration system. In order to be eligible you must pass a points-based assessment. In Skilled Worker visa applications, points are awarded if the applicant is sponsored by an employer, is being paid a high enough salary, meets the English language requirements and meets the financial requirement. You must reach a points score above a minimum threshold if your application is to be successful. The minimum number of points required varies for each UK visa category. UK Points Based Visa System The UK visa points based system consists of the following: Tier 1 Visa: This visa category is for ‘high-value” investor migrants able to invest £2 million in the UK. Currently the investor scheme is the only visa category under the “Tier 1 visa”. The Global Talent visa, UK Innovator visa and Start-Up visa do not come under Tier 1 visa. UK Work Visa This is for ‘skilled workers’ from outside the EEA with a job offer from an UK employer with a sponsor licence. It includes the Skilled Worker visa category (RQF Level 3 and higher), those who are transferred to the UK under the intra-company transfer visa by an international company, and ministers of religion and sportspeople. Tier 3 Visa : This category was originally designed for low-skilled workers filling specific temporary labour shortages and no longer exists. The Government never allocated any visas under this scheme. Student Visa: Previously called the Tier 4 visa, this category is for overseas students who wish to study in the UK. Applicants must have a place at a UK educational establishment with a sponsor licence before they can apply. Temporary Work Visa : This category replaces the similar Tier 5 visa scheme, and contains six sub-tiers of temporary worker including creative and sporting, charity, religious workers, and the youth mobility scheme which enables about 55,000 young people every year to work in the UK on working holidays. Other UK visas The UK tier visa system covers most work, study, and investment visas. But visitor visas, family visas, and some UK business visas fall outside of the five tiers. UK Visitor Visas: This section has the information you need to enter the UK as a visitor, whether for business or pleasure UK Family Visas: Whether you want to bring your family to the UK, or join a family member already living there, this section covers the main UK visa options for families. UK Business Visas: This section covers a number of long term business visas that fall outside of the UK visa points based system.
