Ethical Hacking Learning Center in Abuja

Ethical hacking, also known as penetration testing or pen testing, is legally breaking into computers and devices to test an organization's defenses. It's among the most exciting IT jobs any person can be involved in. You are literally getting paid to keep up with the latest technology and get to break into computers without the threat of being arrested.

Ethical Hacking is a legitimate and structured way of hacking, performed to expose the vulnerabilities in the software, web application, or in the network,that can be accessed and exploited by an unauthorized person.

Companies engage ethical hackers to identify vulnerabilities in their systems. From the penetration tester's point of view, there is no downside: If you hack through the current defenses of a system, you have given the client a chance to block the loophole before an attacker discovers it.
