What is Ethical Hacking Training?

Ethical Hacking Training is a structured learning program that teaches individuals how to legally and responsibly identify, test, and fix security vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, and applications. These professionals, also known as "white hat hackers", use the same tools and techniques as malicious hackers—but with permission and ethical intent to improve cybersecurity.
