+ Continuously learn about the latest vulnerabilities, exploits, and security trends.
+ Present the findings to stakeholders, security teams, and management, explaining the business risk and potential impacts of the vulnerabilities discovered.
+ Familiarity with industry standards and compliance requirements (e.g., PCI-DSS, NIST, ISO 27001) and their relevance to penetration testing.
