The pros and cons of ethical hacking from an Indian viewpoint

Abstract: The study’s goal is to emphasize how crucial ethical hacking is. According to Jay Bavisi, CEO of the EC Council, “To counter the growing threat to IT security in the current globalized-digital era, all are in constant contact with ethical hackers.” It is now understood by all parties involved that simply shutting your doors is not enough to secure a system. Using data from research journals, reports, news articles, and magazines that cover extensive collections of scholarly literature on the pros and cons of ethical hacking from an Indian perspective, the study used an exploratory research model based on previous literature. The report restates the urgent necessity to educate the nation’s citizens on this worldwide issue in light of the emergence of international geopolitical disputes, financing of terrorist organizations, and cybercriminals’ ability to compromise security systems and jeopardize national security.
