Ethical Hacker

Ethical hackers (sometimes also called “white hats”) are security experts who are authorized to attempt gaining unauthorized access to a computer system, application, or data. An ethical hacker acts like a malicious attacker with the goal of identifying security vulnerabilities. This procedure of ethical hacking helps resolving a company’s cyber insecurities so that a malicious hacker cannot exploit them.
