The primary focus of ethical hacking practices is to identify and address security vulnerabilities within systems and networks. Ethical hackers, or white hat hackers, use the same techniques as malicious hackers but do so legally and with authorization. Their goal is to enhance security by discovering weaknesses before they can be exploited. They conduct penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and social engineering tests to uncover risks. Their findings inform organizations on how to strengthen their defenses, protecting sensitive data and ensuring compliance with relevant security standards.
