      abstract = {Cyber security through ethical hacking plays an important role either positive or negative in the ongoing development of the telecommunication industry, as well as Internet services. Its necessity has never been more important than now where high levels of improvements are coming to our telecommunication sector. The protection of critical information and its infrastructures as well as enhancement of cyber security should be of high importance to the security and economic wellbeing of all nation states. This will make the Internet (and users) safer and easier making its integration to the development of new services as well as government policy a no brainer hence, ethical hackers “who systematically attempts to penetrate a computer system or telecommunication network on behalf of its owners for the purpose of finding security vulnerabilities that a malicious hacker could potentially exploit” becomes paramount. In this thesis, Ethical hackers modus operandi are explored using various means, methods, and techniques for testing and ascertaining how they can breach a system's defenses. The research however will proffer solutions how it can make or mar operations in the telecommunication industry.},
