Abstract

This study provides an initial comprehensive overview of Ethical Hacking, an important practice in the field of cybersecurity. Ethical Hacking involves an authorized attempt to gain unauthorized access to a computer system, application, or data. It replicates the strategies and techniques employed by malicious hackers, enabling the identification and remediation of security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors. In the modern digital era, the proliferation of technology has brought forth numerous opportunities as well as challenges in cybersecurity. The growing prevalence of digital threats, such as cyberattacks, data theft, and information leaks, underscores the critical need for enhanced cybersecurity measures. Ethical Hacking addresses many of these challenges by aiding in the identification of system vulnerabilities, risk assessment, threat mitigation, proactive defensive measures, and the prevention of cyberattacks. From strengthening security systems to educating professionals in the cybersecurity field, the activities of Ethical Hackers significantly contribute to improving organizations' resilience against cyber threats. The term “Ethical Hacking,” widely recognized internationally, lacks a precise equivalent in the Greek language that would avoid either oversimplification or cumbersome phrasing. This study proposes the translation of “Ethical Hacking” into Greek as “Ηθικό Χάκινγκ”. This approach preserves the essence of the original term while offering a more accessible and comprehensible rendition for everyday use. The term highlights the specialized effort to identify potential security gaps in computing systems with the approval of their owners, ensuring fidelity to the original concept and promoting its practical understanding in Greek contexts.
