For work I get to break into hospitals and steal things. It’s referred to as a “Physical Penetration Test.” It’s an integral part of a risk assessment, which is required under 164.308(a)(1) of HIPAA.
I routinely pick locks, steal access badges, impersonate medical personnel, harvest data and credentials, crack passwords, and utilize various social engineering tactics.
My official title is “Information Security Consultant.” I have a degree in Information Systems Management, as well as; CCNA, Sec+, and CISA certifications.
