Fundamental challenges to these security experts are of finding weakness and deficiencies in running and upcoming systems, applications, software and addressing them proactively/. It is less costly to investigate proactively before an attack instead of investigating after falling into an attack, or while dealing with an atttack. For security aspect, prevention and protection, organizations have their penetration testing teams internally as well contracted outside professional experts when and if they are needed depending on the severity and scope of the attack.



What is Ethical Hacking?


Ethical hacking involves the use of hacking tools, tricks, and techniques to identify vulnerabilities so as to ensure system security. It focuses on simulating techniques used by attackers to verify the existence of exploitable vulnerabilities in the system security. Ethical hackers performs security assessment of their organization with the permission of concerned authorities.
