One of my dreams when I was a child (and I think until now) is to be a hacker. Actually, you’ve got a lot of advantages when you have all the knowledge about computers. You could manipulate a system. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is illegal when it could do some harm already. It’s considered a felony. But there’s a kind of hacking that is legal, and it is called Ethical Hacking. It is legal because it is done by request and under a contract between an Ethical Hacker and an organization. The important thing is that an Ethical Hacker has authorization to probe the target.

Ever heard of the saying “counter violence with violence” (or something like that)? Ethical Hacking is actually in that context, but in a good way. Simply put, it’s not violence. It’s more like “it takes one to know one”, meaning, you’ve got to think like a hacker to be able to protect your system from them. I’m no IT expert but according to what I’ve read online, IT Security salaries are on the rise. Why? It’s because hacking is very rampant nowadays. With that, organizations that will be hiring Certified Ethical Hackers will increase.

Look how Ethical Hacking could improve the security of an organization’s system. To know more about it, enroll with EC-Council and they’d train you to make you fit to be called a Certified Ethical Hacker.
