What is ethical hacking? And how does it protect companies from attacks?

Today, businesses have become a tempting target for hackers, especially with the world’s shift to e-commerce and remote work. This is where “ethical hacking” comes in—a field that allows experts to emulate hackers’ methods to discover vulnerabilities before a real disaster occurs. In other words, it’s a weapon that protects the organization from the hacker’s own weapon.

At Wamdat Tech, we always emphasize that ethical hackers don’t operate outside the law; rather, they legally utilize the most sophisticated techniques for the benefit of businesses. They test weak passwords, scan networks, analyze vulnerabilities, and then submit a report to management outlining the flaws and how to fix them.

As a result, the company doesn’t wait for an attack, but prevents it before it begins. With the rise of cybercrime globally, having an ethical hacker within any organization has become as essential as having a camera system or a safe.
