What are ethical hackers?
Ethical Hacking is the practice of testing computer systems and networks to find security weaknesses so they can be fixed before malicious hackers exploit them.
Here’s a simple breakdown:
- What it does: Ethical hackers use the same tools and methods as cybercriminals, but they do it legally and with permission.
- How it works: They look for vulnerabilities, like weak passwords or software flaws, and report them to help improve security.
- Why it’s important: It helps organizations protect their systems, data, and users from real cyberattacks.
Think of ethical hacking like hiring a friendly burglar to check if your house is secure, so you can fix the locks before a real thief (hacker) comes along.
