EXIN Ethical Hacking - Foundation

The purpose of ethical hacking is to evaluate the security of a computer system or network through the discovery and exploitation of vulnerabilities in a legal manner. Todays technology is moving fast and changing the way we do business. Companies digitize all information by default, store their data in the cloud and use open source software. This raises information security issues related to network and system infrastructure.
