White Hat hacker jobs in high demand

The EC Council has listed 6597 Ethical Hacker jobs in LinkedIn and says that it is one of the fastest growing professions within the Cyber Security professional landscape with an average annual salary of US$91,000. Ethical hackers, often referred to as white hat hackers, are certified security professionals who are hired by top organizations to penetrate their own security infrastructure and find system vulnerabilities. These experts mimic the same techniques as used by criminal hackers, the so-called black hat hacker, to break down the defences of an organization and steal its intellectual assets.
