Description

Ethical hacking, a practice also referred to as penetration testing or white-hat hacking, entails authorized professionals simulating cyberattacks to assess the security posture of computer systems, networks, or software applications. By identifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses, ethical hackers help organizations strengthen their cybersecurity defenses, preventing potential breaches and data compromises. Ethical hacking operates within legal and ethical boundaries, with the primary objective of improving security rather than causing harm. It is a proactive approach to cybersecurity, providing valuable insights into potential risks and enabling organizations to implement appropriate countermeasures to mitigate threats and protect sensitive information from unauthorized access or exploitation.
