How to become an Ethical Hacker?

Due to the Covid-19 impact the number of internet users has increased drastically, yes the internet gives us a great number of advantages but along with that, It gives us a lot of risks also. To protect individuals and institutions from these risks we need cyber security aka ethical hacking. 


Even if you are interested to start your career in cyber security some questions are revolving in our heads, such as; 

  ● Is there a career opportunity in hacking? 

   ● Isn’t it illegal to work as a hacker? 

   ● Is there a course available to learn to hack? 


The above-mentioned questions are there in every cyber security aspirant but don’t worry we are here to help you. In this article, we are going to answer these questions so that you can become an ethical hacker... 

   ● Is there a career opportunity in hacking? 


Cyber security is a large industry that is valued at 153.16 Billion in 2020 globally. In India, the cyber security industry is valued at 9.85 Billion in 2021. As it is a very large industry the career opportunities are enormous. 


Because of the Indian government Initiatives such as “Digital India” all of us are pushed towards digitalization which will also increase the cyber risks and so India will require a massive amount of security professionals in near future.


Some of the top cyber security job roles in India are; 

   ● Security Specialist

   ● Penetration Tester 


So don’t worry about the opportunities, if you are skilled you can create a great career in this industry. 

   ● Isn't it illegal to work as an ethical hacker? 


When it comes to legal perspective hacking can be legal and illegal depending upon the objective of the person who is handling this. For example, will a kitchen knife be illegal? Obviously no right..? but a kitchen knife can be used for killing a person as well as for cutting vegetables. It depends on the person who is handling the knife. 

Ethical hacking is a skill and the hacker is the person who is using that skill, the hacker can use ethical hacking skills for hacking into a website to steal data. Also, he/she can use it to hack into the website to identify and remove security weaknesses. 

   ● Is there a course available to learn to hack?
