SCOPE & LIMITATIONS OF ETHICAL HACKING

Scope

• Ethical Hacking is a crucial component of risk assessment, auditing, counterfraud, best practices, and good governance
• It is used to identify risks and highlight the remedial actions, and also reduces information and communication technology (ICT) costs by resolving those vulnerabilities

Limitations

• However, unless the businesses first know what it is at that they are looking for and why they are hiring an outside vendor to hack systems in the first place, chances are there would not be much to gain from the experience
• An Ethical Hacker thus can only help the organization to better understand their security system, but it is up to the organization to place the right guards on the network.
