How to Build a Career in Ethical Hacking from Scratch in 2025

Breaking into cybersecurity is not about “hacking for fun” or chasing buzzwords; it is about protecting real organizations from real threats. I am William Bailey, a security, privacy, and risk leader, conference speaker, and APMG-certified trainer. I will guide you step by step through what it truly takes to become an ethical hacker.

Together, we will chart a clear, beginner-friendly roadmap: from grasping core networking concepts to mastering industry-standard tools, all the way to landing your first penetration-testing role. You will also see exactly how Simplilearn’s Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) program gives you the hands‑on skills and recognized credentials recruiters look for when hiring.
