If you want to
stop hackers from invading your network, first you've got to invade their
minds.
Computers around
the world are systematically being victimized by rampant hacking. This hacking
is not only widespread, but is being executed so flawlessly that the attackers
compromise a system, steal everything of value and completely erase their
tracks within 20 minutes.
The goal of the ethical hacker is to help the organization take preemptive
measures against malicious attacks by attacking the system himself; all the
while staying within legal limits. This philosophy stems from the proven
practice of trying to catch a thief, by thinking like a thief. As technology
advances and organization depend on technology increasingly, information assets
have evolved into critical components of survival.
If hacking involves creativity and thinking 'out-of-the-box', then
vulnerability testing and security audits will not ensure the security proofing
of an organization. To ensure that organizations have adequately protected
their information assets, they must adopt the approach of 'defense in depth'.
In other words, they must penetrate their networks and assess the security
posture for vulnerabilities and exposure.
The definition of an Ethical Hacker is very similar to a Penetration Tester.
The Ethical Hacker is an individual who is usually employed with the
organization and who can be trusted to undertake an attempt to penetrate
networks and/or computer systems using the same methods as a Hacker. Hacking is
a felony in the United States and most other countries. When it is done by
request and under a contract between an Ethical Hacker and an organization, it
is legal. The most important point is that an Ethical Hacker has authorization
to probe the target.
The CEH Program certifies individuals in the specific network security
discipline of Ethical Hacking from a vendor-neutral perspective. The Certified
Ethical Hacker certification will fortify the application knowledge of security
officers, auditors, security professionals, site administrators, and anyone who
is concerned about the integrity of the network infrastructure. A Certified
Ethical Hacker is a skilled professional who understands and knows how to look
for the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems and uses the same
knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker.
