Ethical hackers are usually the company hired to make sure that the company's systems and databases are secure enough.

The cyber-world is getting riskier and riskier for the small businesses to operate in due to the posed threats of hacking and cyber-attacks. More often than not we get to come across stories where curious and ambitious tweens rip apart a person's honest day's work just out of curiosity and then they brag about it as to how they breached a business' cyber network and brought it to shreds. On the other hand, there are hackers who breach into a company’s profile to phish for information and cause it a lot of damage. Jason Rorie says in his book, Small Business – A Hacker’s Playground (978-1071086070), that small businesses get affected 98% of the times as a result of hacking and cyber-attacks.
