White Hat Hacker: EC Council
Posted on 13. May, 2009 by spencer in Internet, Paid
There's a few dudes around our office who make sure that this site, and all of our other side sites within the Synthesis realm, continue to work seamlessly to deliver you the royal goods. They're both doing good in this world, but I can imagine a darker time in their younger lives, all hopped up on 2-liters of Mountain Dew, their greedy little fingers leading the charge into those forbidden corners of the internet(s). Just who, on God's earth, would create a worm virus and unleash it onto all the moms and Sunday school teachers on the world wide web? Better yet, who would don the white hat and kill that virus dead? If you own a company and operate a web site (and who doesn't?), you better have a strong IT person. And this brings us to this blog page's sponsor, IT Security.
If you're looking for work on the internet, IT is a quickly growing trade, with pay on the rise. Ethical Hackers (or white hat hackers) are responsible for protecting web sites against invaders - imagine dudes with chain mail manning the battlements of a medieval castle an dropping boiling oil on invading armies - that would be you, basically). It's a cool service, indeed. Ethical hackers are responsible for vulnerability assessment and general network security.
