Legally breaking into computer systems in an effort to find weaknesses that malevolent hackers could exploit is known as ethical hacking. The same methods used by malevolent hackers are employed by ethical hackers, sometimes known as "white hats," but with authorization and inside the law.
Risk management, vulnerability assessment, regulatory compliance, and security awareness training all depend on ethical hacking. It assists companies in proactively detecting and reducing any dangers before they are taken advantage of.
The methodical process that ethical hackers adhere to includes reconnaissance, scanning, access acquisition, access maintenance, concealing tracks, reporting results, and making suggestions.
Organizations can improve their entire security posture and better defend their systems, networks, and data from cyber attacks by hiring ethical hackers with experience and adhering to best practices.
