A White Hat Hacker is a cybersecurity expert who uses their skills to help organizations protect their systems and data. Unlike malicious hackers, they work legally and ethically to identify vulnerabilities in software and networks. Their goal is to strengthen security measures and prevent cyberattacks. These professionals often conduct penetration testing and security assessments, simulating attacks to find weaknesses before they can be exploited by malicious hackers, known as Black Hat Hackers. Many White Hat Hackers are certified through programs like Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and play a crucial role in maintaining the safety of digital environments.
