Cybersecurity refers to the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and digital information from unauthorized access, theft, damage, or disruption. It encompasses a range of technologies, processes, and practices designed to secure digital assets and prevent cyberattacks.

Ethical hacking, also known as "penetration testing," is an approach to cybersecurity that involves simulating cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities in a system before they can be exploited by malicious actors. Ethical hackers use a variety of tools and techniques to test the security of a system, including network scans, penetration testing, and social engineering.

By combining cybersecurity with ethical hacking, organizations can identify and address vulnerabilities in their systems before they can be exploited by cybercriminals. Ethical hacking helps to ensure that systems are secure and protected from potential cyber threats, and can help organizations stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.
