Ethical Hacking

Ethical hacking, also known as "penetration testing," involves authorized attempts to gain unauthorized access to computer systems or networks to identify vulnerabilities and potential security threats. The goal of ethical hacking is to help organizations improve their security by identifying and addressing weaknesses in their systems. Ethical hackers use the same techniques and tools as malicious hackers, but with the explicit permission of the organization they are testing. They may use social engineering, phishing, network scanning, and other methods to simulate attacks and identify vulnerabilities. Once vulnerabilities are identified, ethical hackers provide detailed reports to the organization with recommendations for remediation. This helps the organization to improve their security posture and prevent real attacks from occurring. Ethical hacking is an important practice in the field of cybersecurity and can help organizations stay ahead of potential threats. However, it is important to conduct ethical hacking in a responsible and ethical manner to ensure that sensitive data is not compromised and that the organization is not exposed to additional risks.
