A Certified Ethical Hacker is a specialist typically working in a red team environment, focused
on attacking computer systems and gaining access to networks, applications, databases, and
other critical data on secured systems. A CEH understands attack strategies, the use of creativeattack vectors, and mimics the skills and creativity of malicious hackers. Unlike malicious hackers and actors, Certified Ethical Hackers operate with permission from the system owners and take
all precautions to ensure the outcomes remain confidential. Bug bounty researchers are expert ethical hackers who use their attack skills to uncover vulnerabilities in the systems.
