What is Whitehat?

In the context of cybersecurity, a "white hat" refers to an ethical computer hacker or cybersecurity expert who uses their skills to identify vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks and then works to fix those vulnerabilities, rather than exploiting them for malicious purposes. They are also known as ethical hackers. White hats often work for companies as security consultants or penetration testers, simulating attacks to find weaknesses before malicious actors can. They operate with permission and aim to improve security.
