Description

Information security has gained popularity in recent years and has gone from being considered a cost, to be seen as an investment by managers of companies and organizations worldwide. In some countries this has happened very fast, in others the pace has been slower; but ultimately we all converged in a digital world where information is the most valuable intangible asset that we have. And being an asset, we must protect it from loss, theft, misuse, etc. It is here that plays an important role a previously unknown actor: the ethical hacker. The role of the ethical hacker is to make - from the point of view of a cracker - a controlled attack over the client’s IT infrastructure, detecting and exploiting potential vulnerabilities that could allow penetrating the target network’s defenses, but without damaging the services and systems audited. And all this for the sole purpose of alerting the client’s organization of present security risks and how to fix them.
