What is the scope of ethical hacking?

Dear Mini, Ethical hacking is a career option worth exploring. In recent years, there has been an alarming increase in the number of cyber crime cases on the Internet. Hacking email accounts, stealing and intercepting sensitive data, abusive emails, trojan attacks and espionage are some of the many concerns that have started affecting email users. All these threats have increased the demand for ethical hackers who test security systems and look out for critical vulnerability, albeit for a good purpose. The demand for ethical hackers is coming mostly from the government agencies. People have woken up to realize the importance of cyber security experts especially after the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008; Chinese cyber attacks on different countries and bomb blasts in different parts of India. Also, organisations including banks, hotels, airlines, telecom companies, IT and IT enabled services companies, outsourcing units, retail chains and Internet firms are seeking ethical hackers to check for vulnerability within their own systems. Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful. Wish You Luck!
