Cybersecurity is one of the most rapid-growing fields in computer science. In today’s digitalized world, IoT devices and smartphones have become the powerhouses of information. According to a report conducted by Cisco, by 2030, more than 500 BILLION devices are expected to be connected to the internet.

Each day, we witness a growing number of systems that are being connected to cyberspace. These systems become vulnerable to various attacks from places around the world.

The silver lining of such a situation is that job prospects for computer engineers and ethical hackers are on the rise.

Ethical hacking refers to the act of testing a system’s networks for any type of vulnerabilities with the purpose of protecting an organization from threats or attacks that may result in financial losses or other system damages.

Considering the continually evolving pace of new malicious attacks, ransomware, spyware, and many other types of hacks, hiring ethical hackers is not an optional choice to make anymore, it’s a must-move in safeguarding the networks and systems of organizations and government agencies.
