Who are 'security researchers'?

Security researchers, like those at A Security, are experts who deliberately look for weaknesses in software and systems. Their goal is to find these 'bugs' before malicious actors do, and then report them responsibly to the company so they can be fixed. This crucial work helps keep our digital lives safer, as seen with the Zoom vulnerability.
