We learned that ethical hacking is not about breaking systems for harm, but about protecting digital environments by identifying weaknesses before attackers exploit them. Understanding the hacker mindset, the types of hackers, and the stages of ethical hacking helped clarify how cybersecurity professionals think and operate.
We also gained valuable insight into information security and modern cyber threats, including malware, phishing, ransomware, and system vulnerabilities. The session emphasized that strong security is not based on a single tool, but on a layered defense strategy involving awareness, prevention, detection, and response.
Overall, this session strengthened our understanding of cybersecurity as a critical skill in today's digital world and motivated us to continue learning, practicing, and developing responsible hacking skills to help create a safer cyber environment. 🔐💻
