Ethical Hacking & Countermeasures
Skill Level
Intermediate, Advanced
Prerequisites
Cybersecurity Domain Knowledge, some Command Line Interface (CLI) experience
Overview
Ethical hacking is the process of testing and validating an Information Technology (IT) system to determine its weaknesses and assess its vulnerabilities.
Businesses and government organizations hire cybersecurity professionals to break past their online security systems so that they can recommend measures that help prevent data theft and fraud, such as improving cryptography standards. Also known as penetration testers or information security analysts, ethical hackers identify potential threats and help mitigate the risk of a real cyber attack.
The purpose of this course is to help individuals master the core concepts of ethical hacking, e.g., vulnerability analysis, social engineering, and exploitation methods. This course will significantly benefit security officers, auditors, security professionals, site administrators, and those interested in becoming a professional penetration tester.
