Ethical Hacking and Prevention
The Ethical Hacking and Prevention course is the ultimate word in ethical hacking training. It is periodically updated to meet the demands of the industry. To become certified, an ethical hacker needs to demonstrate his mastery over a range of security technologies and hacking techniques.
This course is meant for those professionals who are looking for comprehensive and total knowledge in the network security domain. Many courses have cropped up offering training in so-called "ethical hacking". But these courses deal with only one half of the security equation. To build highly secure networks, professionals need to be aware of different methods of hacking and at the same time know how to make networks secure from these intrusions using firewalls, UTMs, antivirus, etc. This is the only course which teaches both hacking and countermeasure techniques.
The course will cover:
