ETHICAL HACKING

@ Satyam Verma # About Ethical hacking

We know that our future or your future will be completely digital. Or why are we talking about the future when we are digital today. Whether we have to do office work or have to get paid somewhere or do many other things but do we know that what the data we have given to us is completely safe. my answer is no

To whether all our data is being passed on to someone else, my answer is also no because when we upload our data on someone's website or software, it is their responsibility to keep our data safe. Or the company that hires ETHICAL HACKER to keep this data secure.

So we will talk about the concept of ethical hacking and its importance in strengthening security system.

CONCEPT OF ETHICAL HACKING

Ethical hacking, also known as white hat hacking, it is a part of cyber security Ethical means doing a work as a ligule

This is what an ethical hacker does, or by using his authority, he checks whether there is any loop hole in their server so that no one can steal the data of that company or organization or whether any vulnerabilities and malicious There is no harm to their data from actors. protecting sensitive information from cyber threats is paramount. For example, ethical hackers perform security assessments on Internet of Things (IoT) devices and systems, uncovering vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited to gain unauthorized access or disrupt critical infrastructure.

Ethical hackers follow certain guidelines to perform hacking legally, including:

• Seeking authorization from the organization that owns the system
• Determining the scope of their assessment and making known their plan to the organization

Ethical hacking is an important part of any cybersecurity model because your data and information are valuable business assets. Organisations of all types and sizes hold sensitive data that needs to be protected for the sake of safeguarding the business itself along with the customer base associated with it. With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at why ethical hacking is so important:

• Ethical hacking is used to test security systems. Implemented during the executing, managing, and designing stages of testing security systems, ethical hacking pinpoints security vulnerabilities and fixes them.  
• Many leading organisations around the world offer bug bounty programs to find hidden bugs lurking on their sites. Bug bounty programs usually expect ethical hackers to find security vulnerabilities or technical bugs and then notify the organisation so they can act. Once the bug has been fixed the hacker will receive a reward. Big organisations like Yahoo!, Google, Facebook, and Instagram hire ethical hackers for this specific purpose.
• Ethical hacking can also be used to secure sensitive data from adversaries. It prevents malicious actors from exploiting a business or an individual within that organisation. Ethical hacking reduces the risk of being blackmailed or hacked by those with bad intentions.
• Ethical hacking also plays a key role in the security and safety of nations around the globe. Nation states and state-funded organisations often hire ethical hackers to prevent terrorist attacks and stop cyber terrorism. What’s more, government-employed personnel often hire ethical hackers to protect their privacy.  
• Ethical hackers are trained to think just like a real hacker. They can sniff out issues quickly and find a potential entry point for any security vulnerabilities. 
• Ethical hackers can also provide security assistance to many domains related to CS and IT systems like risk management, software developers, network defenders, and quality assurance testers.
• Ethical hackers ensure that software functions are executed swiftly and test them under standard and extreme security systems.  
• Once security vulnerabilities have been pinpointed, ethical hackers can develop methodologies and testing tools to avoid a similar situation occurring in the future.
