On 19 November, our Year 13 IB Computer Science students visited Antarex HQ in Manila as part of their work on the IB case study “An Ethical Approach to Hacking.” The trip gave students valuable real-world insight into ethical hacking and modern cybersecurity practice.
Antarex specialists explained how professionals responsibly identify and manage vulnerabilities, and showed how industry standards like the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) guide each stage of a penetration test. Students saw safe demonstrations using fictional data, helping them understand key phases such as pre-engagement planning, vulnerability analysis, and reporting, while also highlighting the ethical boundaries required in sensitive environments.
