Ethical Hacker?

An Ethical Hacker is a skilled professional who understands and knows how to look for the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems, using the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker. Possessing this type of certification stimulates the right kind of conversation in an interview or job proposal as most companies are starting to become more security-aware.

Course Description:

Computers around the world are systematically being victimized by rampant hacking. This hacking is not only widespread, but is being executed so flawlessly that the attackers compromise a system, steal everything of value and completely erase their tracks within 20 minutes.

The goal of the Ethical Hacker is to help the organization take preemptive measures against malicious attacks by attacking the system himself; all the while staying within legal limits. This philosophy stems from the proven practice of trying to catch a thief, by thinking like a thief. As technology advances and organizations depend increasingly on technology, information assets have evolved into critical components of survival.

If hacking involves creativity and thinking ’out-of-the-box’, then vulnerability testing and security audits will not ensure the security proofing of an organization. To ensure that organizations have adequately protected their information assets, they must adopt the approach of ’defense in depth’. In other words, they must penetrate their networks and assess the security posture for vulnerabilities and exposure. As technology advances and organizations increasingly depend on technology, information assets have evolved into critical components of survival. Organizations must penetrate their networks in order to assess the security posture for vulnerabilities and exposure. The goal of an Ethical Hacker is to help the organization take preemptive measures against malicious attacks by attacking their own system. This individual is usually a skilled professional employed within the organization and who can be trusted to undertake an attempt to penetrate networks and/or computer systems. An Ethical Hacker understands and knows how to look for the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems and uses the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker.
