Adding to your tech team and not sure which direction to go in next? If you’ve not already got an Ethical Hacker on your side nows the time and here’s a few reasons why.
Ethical Hackers also known as Penetration Testers (Pen Tester), or white hat hackers, are important because they help organisations identify and fix security vulnerabilities in their systems before they can be exploited by malicious hackers. By doing so, they help protect sensitive data and prevent security breaches that can result in financial losses, damage to reputation, and legal liabilities.
Ethical Hackers use their knowledge and skills to test the security of a system or network by simulating attacks and identifying weaknesses. They then report their findings to the organisation so that the vulnerabilities can be addressed and the system can be made more secure.
In addition to helping prevent security breaches, Pen Testers also play a crucial role in compliance with regulations and standards such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR. These regulations require organizations to maintain a certain level of security and privacy for the data they collect and store, and ethical hackers can help ensure that these requirements are met.
Some of the pros of having Ethical Hackers on your team include:
Overall, they are an important part of the cybersecurity ecosystem and help organisations stay ahead of potential threats and keep their data and systems secure.
