Computers & IT (Non-Engg)

Ethical Hacking is a kind of hacking but it is legal in nature, it is used for security purposes aiming towards fixing the weak links in the system and networks so that intruders cannot cause harm the information and programs in our system. Key concepts of Ethical hacking are hacking methodologies, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, social engineering, all conducted with proper authorization and within legal boundaries. Ethical hackers also focus on reporting vulnerabilities and providing remediation advice to organizations.

Ethical hacking professionals are rare to find due to the skill gap in the market, which makes it likely to land a good pay scale if you happen to crack interviews by showcasing your ethical hacking skillset. Honestly, the ethical hacking certification might add weight to your resume, but it's always advisable to pair that up with a full-fledged course or degree in IT.
