Ethical Hackers assume the role of a threat against a company’s network system, attempting to breach its security measures as a malicious hacker would do. This serves to identify vulnerabilities within the system that could leave it exposed to dangerous entities. If an Ethical Hacker uncovers a flaw in the security network, they can then propose methods of repairing it. This strengthens the network overall, leaving the company less susceptible to breaches.
