 I'm interested in learning more about This research, (Ethical hacking). I want to expand my knowledge by stepping into this research and it would be all about:

  • Ethical hacking?
  • What do ethical hackers do?
  • Benefits of ethical hackers?
(Beau peters, 2020)


What is Ethical hacking
According to Kranz,(2021) An information security (infosec) professional who breaches a computer system, network, application, or other computing resource on behalf of its owners -- and with their authority -- is known as an ethical hacker, sometimes known as a white hat hacker.

What do ethical hackers do
According to Kranz,(2021) Ethical hackers assist businesses in identifying the IT security measures that are efficient, need to be updated, and have exploitable weaknesses. Following their evaluation of a company's networks, ethical hackers inform the top executives of any weak points, which may include a deficiency in password encryption, unsecured apps, or exposed systems using unpatched software. The information gathered from these tests can be used by organisations to make educated decisions regarding where and how to strengthen their security posture to fend against cyberattacks.


Benefits of Ethical hacking:
Cybersecurity will advance in complexity as technologies like 5G and the Internet of Things (IOT) gain popularity. Today, those that possess data may find that their largest risks are not always the concerns that are visible to them, but rather those that lie outside of their field of vision

CASE STUDY (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Windows 7:  Microsoft released Windows 7 two years later, a new version of Windows. Microsoft needed to make up for Vista's shortcomings, and it succeeded in doing so with Windows 7. Windows 7 is a little more streamlined than Vista, and it actually got rid of a lot of functionality from earlier Windows releases, including Vista. In truth, Microsoft left out at least four Vista programmes from Windows 7: Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Calendar, Windows Movie Maker, and Windows Mail. A desktop slideshow feature, Internet Explorer 9, Windows Media Player 12, handwriting recognition, improved overall speed, interactive thumbnail previews for minimised app windows, and handwriting recognition were all included with Windows 7. Windows 8: Windows 8 was significantly different from its predecessors in terms of appearance. It's time to discuss that Start screen with all the tiles.
