Penetration testing Auditor

Which tasks are exposed

Risk applies to individual tasks—not to a person or an entire occupation.

Why technology can change this work

• continuous automated controls detect deviations before manual review
• cameras, sensors and SIEM systems classify events automatically
• AI detects anomalies and prioritizes incidents
• some monitoring and patrol tasks shift to robots

What protects the occupation

• independent professional judgement and accountability for conclusions
• decision accountability under threat
• a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
• unknown scenarios and active adversaries
• physical intervention or deep investigation
