1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:06,180
So let's jump into this and go over quickly, what exactly is cybersecurity and ethical hacking?

2
00:00:06,690 --> 00:00:12,780
You know, so cybersecurity just put simply, is the act of taking certain measures to ensure that a

3
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:15,240
network and its information is safe.

4
00:00:16,170 --> 00:00:21,780
So just protecting your network, protecting your assets, protecting your data, that new computers,

5
00:00:22,170 --> 00:00:25,750
that's all really cybersecurity is at a very broad and high level.

6
00:00:26,790 --> 00:00:34,710
Some examples of implementing cybersecurity that you might have heard of would be using a firewall requiring

7
00:00:34,710 --> 00:00:38,130
strong passwords to log into the computers.

8
00:00:38,370 --> 00:00:44,210
Installing antivirus software is also another example of implementing cyber security.

9
00:00:44,250 --> 00:00:46,350
So we're talking about ethical hacking.

10
00:00:46,650 --> 00:00:53,220
Ethical hacking is the act of attempting to break into a network to uncover vulnerabilities that may

11
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:53,860
be present.

12
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:02,940
So when we say break into not in an illegal way, ethical hacking is a very professional and approved

13
00:01:02,940 --> 00:01:03,120
way.

14
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,920
You don't do anything without permission.

15
00:01:05,130 --> 00:01:12,150
And we're trying to break into a quote unquote so we can figure out where the holes in the cybersecurity

16
00:01:12,150 --> 00:01:14,110
are so that we can fix them.

17
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,820
That's the whole goal of ethical hacking.

18
00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:23,400
So even though it's technically hacking, you know, it's legal because all the testing is done according

19
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,860
to previously agreed upon rules.

20
00:01:26,070 --> 00:01:27,950
And those are called rules of engagement.

21
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,770
You can go ahead and look this up on your own if you're interested in it.

22
00:01:30,930 --> 00:01:34,380
But that's very important when it comes to ethical hacking, because you want to make sure that all

23
00:01:34,380 --> 00:01:39,370
the liabilities, you know, are laid out, make sure that you know what you're doing.

24
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,470
Make sure that your client is exactly what you're doing and what you're not allowed to do.

25
00:01:43,470 --> 00:01:47,670
What IP addresses, what computers you can touch, different things like that.

26
00:01:47,850 --> 00:01:53,340
So if we had to, you know, talk about the difference, then, you know, what would it be?

27
00:01:53,370 --> 00:01:58,290
So cybersecurity as a whole just focus on protecting the network from potential attacks and dangers.

28
00:01:58,290 --> 00:02:05,130
Like I said before, and this includes offensive actions like ethical hacking and defensive action,

29
00:02:05,130 --> 00:02:09,300
which people like to call blue teaming as well.

30
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:16,980
Ethical hacking falls under the umbrella of cybersecurity and is also an integral part of any cybersecurity

31
00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:17,550
program.

32
00:02:18,180 --> 00:02:20,370
Ethical hacking is a part of cybersecurity.

33
00:02:20,370 --> 00:02:23,130
It just tests the network's defenses against tax.

34
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,980
And hackers would be launching, you know, so that we can, you know, fix those vulnerabilities that

35
00:02:28,980 --> 00:02:30,710
are there before the hackers get to it.
