Title: Finding Loopholes in Security
Post by: RAMIREZ11 on June 08, 2009, 06:39:06 am
Ethical hacking has become a desirable profession for many. The services of a certified ethical hacker fortifies the knowledge of security officers, auditors, security professionals, site administrators, and anyone who is concerned about the integrity of the network infrastructure. Scores undergo Certified Ethical Hacker Training (http://www.timenetlearning.com/Trainingdetails.aspx?tid=Mzkz) each year to work in the position of a CEH.

An Ethical Hacker can be trusted to undertake penetration of networks or computer systems by thinking and using the same methods as that of a Hacker. In most of the countries, Hacking is considered to be a serious felony. But when this is done by request and under a contract between an Ethical Hacker and an organization, it becomes legal. The most important difference is that an Ethical Hacker has the authorization to probe the target.

The ethical hacker helps the organization to take measures against undesired attacks from unknown hackers by attacking the system himself while staying within legal limits. The ethical hacker works like an authorized hacker to find loopholes in the system.  The role is highly important in organizations that depend on technology for saving their critical information assets.
