Sun Tzu said, “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” Traditionally, a hacker is someone who likes to tinker with software or electronic systems. Hackers enjoy exploring and learning how computer systems operate.

Hacking preys on weak security practices and undisclosed vulnerabilities. These security systems often focus on high-level vulnerabilities, such as viruses and traffic through a firewall, without affecting how hackers work.

But ethical hacking is much different. It brings positive change in environment of the company and organisation. As hackers expand their knowledge, so should you. You must think like them to protect your systems from them.

Don’t take ethical hacking too far, though. It makes little sense to harden your systems from unlikely attacks. The reason for conducting an ethical hack, obviously, is to keep information assets secure.

One survey respondent stated that “It (ethical hacking) is very important and helps save you money and reputation in the long run.”

Ethical hackers use the same techniques and tactics as those used by illegal hackers to breach corporate security systems. The end result is the company’s ability to prevent an intrusion before it ever occurs.

There are basic programmes on training for ethical hacking. There are 11 modules which have to be done for completion of this course. It consist of expert pen tester, team leader and security consultant in it basic education. They will then responsible for planning, managing, conducting and writing the pen test report.

Ethical hacking training students will be able to confidently undertake the laboratory simulated examination.
