Ethical Hacking

The practice of legally testing systems for security vulnerabilities to improve cybersecurity defenses.

Understanding Ethical Hacking


Ethical hackers, also called white-hat hackers, conduct controlled cyberattacks on IT infrastructures to uncover weaknesses before adversaries do. Organizations rely on ethical hacking to comply with regulatory requirements, conduct security assessments, and prevent data breaches.

Key Features of Ethical Hacking


  1. Real-World Attack Simulation – Mimicking actual cyberattacks to test defenses.

  2. Risk Assessment & Vulnerability Management – Identifying and prioritizing security gaps.

  3. Security Enhancement – Providing solutions to patch weaknesses.

  4. Legal Compliance – Assisting in compliance with security standards like GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001.

  5. Offensive Security Strategy – Proactively improving cyber resilience.

Common Applications of Ethical Hacking


  • Bug Bounty Programs – Companies offer rewards for finding security vulnerabilities.

  • Penetration Testing – Conducting controlled attacks to assess security posture.

  • Red Team Operations – Simulating advanced persistent threats (APTs).

  • Incident Response Testing – Evaluating how organizations react to cyberattacks.

  • IoT Security Audits – Identifying vulnerabilities in smart devices.
