Ethical Hackers

Cyber security is one of the biggest concerns of all the big corporations and government agencies around the world. Hackers are always on the prowl to breach digital security system of the giant corporations and important government agencies.  A few months ago, Chinese hackers shut down most of the websites of the Taiwanese government.  Yahoo, one of the largest free email services confirmed that hackers gained access to the accounts information of a large portion of their subscribers. Although cyber security experts have been developing advanced hacking proof security system, there is no sign that hacking is slowing down. As a result, different government and multinational corporations started to raise an army of hackers of their own who breach the security of their employer's digital archive to detect their own security gaps. At present, ethical hacking that is hacking under permission to find out the security flaws is one of the most popular methods of preventing cyber crimes. And, these ethical hackers are highly prized by the employers all over the world.  According to PayScale.com a certified ethical hacker usually earns 1, 92000 US$ per year. International Council of Electronic Commerce Consultants at USA provides Masters level course on ethical hacking and certify the ethical hackers with a tough, competitive exam. In 2016, the exam to be a certified ethical hacker has been updated to its 9th version to fight with the cunning techniques of the fast growing army of unethical hackers!
