Ethical hacking is detecting and fixing security vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, or applications with the owner's permission to strengthen their security. Ethical hacking is also called penetration testing or white hat hacking.
Anyone can become an ethical hacker if he or she has a strong knowledge of computer systems, networks, and cybersecurity principles. The list also includes roles like cybersecurity experts, IT professionals, and even enthusiasts dedicated to learning and practicing ethical hacking techniques.
Ethical hackers help organizations identify and fix security vulnerabilities before they are identified by malicious hackers. Ethical hackers conduct penetration tests, security assessments, and vulnerability scans to proactively identify weaknesses in systems, networks, and applications.
Ethical hacking is legal when conducted with the system owner's permission and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Unauthorized hacking, however, is illegal and punishable by law.
