Ethical Hacking & Penetration Testing
What is Ethical Hacking?
Ethical hacking is a controlled and authorised process where skilled security professionals simulate cyber-attacks to identify vulnerabilities. Unlike relying solely on automated tools, ethical hackers apply creative thinking, exploit business logic flaws, and replicate real-world attack techniques to uncover risks that often go unnoticed.
