An ethical hacking training is a very valid career option.
Top companies in India such as Wipro, Infosys, and IBM are always looking for
ethical hackers. This is because they constantly bring new products and
services to the market. Security professionals command better salaries, because
the skill level and knowledge level involved is more. NASSCOM indicates that
India alone will employ more than 77000 professionals. As a minimum, these
professionals are required to have a thorough understanding of the system.
WHAT IS ETHICAL
HACKING
Also known as penetration testing, intrusion
testing, and red teaming, it is a set of practices designed to find loopholes
in an IT system. The objective is to test if the computers connected to a
network are safe from vulnerabilities. Ethical hackers design systems and
impose securities policies, so that the integrity of a company’s IT
infrastructure is not compromised. With the increase of Internet penetration,
the need for security has increased. New security technologies are introduced
to keep pace with the changing dynamics of the security industry.
WHO EMPLOYS ETHICAL
HACKERS?
After a cyber-security course, an ethical
hacker can be employed anywhere. There is a dearth of such professionals in IT
companies, healthcare organizations, defense institutions, schools,
hospitals etc. These professionals are inducted on a short-term or long-term
basis based on need. They can choose to be full-time professionals or even
part-time consultants.
SKILLS REQUIRED TO BE AN ETHICAL HACKER
For someone employed
in the IT industry, skills in reading and even writing in many programming
languages is desired, but not always. Ethical hackers generally have a working
knowledge of C, C++, Perl, Python, and Ruby. Knowledge of assembly language programming
is crucial for those involved in analyzing binary files. Knowledge of different
operating systems is required and so is expertise in configuring network
devices, switches, routes, firewalls. All of this knowledge can be imbibed in
an ethical hacking training.
