Description

thical hacking is the practice of testing a computer system, a network or an application to find security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by criminal hackers.

For several years, the number of vacancies for ethical hackers has been far higher than the number of qualified candidates to fill them. Ethical hacking is a vital skill that is needed by public-sector, private-sector and not-for-profit organisations everywhere. Due to the sensitive nature of the work, just having demonstrable skills is not enough: employers want professionals who are dedicated to using their skills responsibly. Moreover, the knowledge and skills of a practising ethical hacker need to be current.
