become successful in the IT Industry?

Technology and digitization have been a boon for
the industry, and we have seen some great
development in this domain. But as we know, this
boon has come with some bane as well, and the
biggest of these is hacking and data breach
issues that are on a high rise. We have seen a
number of cases where the network security has
been compromised, leading to the loss of millions
and millions and loss of data. To combat this, we
have another branch that caters to a network
security threat, and that is called ethical
hacking. The latter has gained importance in
recent years, and we have seen a rise in the
number of ethical hacking experts in the
company. The basic work of ethical hackers is to
look into the bottlenecks and test the system's
vulnerabilities. Based on it, they tell whether
the system is good to run safely and keep the
data secure, and in case there is a discrepancy,
ethical hackers work in it and find the necessary
solution. Well, much of this task is vested in
the hands of a professional network security
engineer. Ethical hacking is a future technology,
and there is going to be a great demand for such
professionals in the times to come.
