EC-Council Ethical Hacking

This course meets the standards of highly skilled security professionals by providing a comprehensive set of ethical hacking and network security skills, tools and methodologies. Participants will begin by understanding how perimeter defenses work and will be guided into scanning and attacking their own networks (no real network is harmed). They will then learn how intruders escalate privileges and what steps can be taken to secure their organization’s system. Participants will also gain in-depth knowledge on intrusion detection, policy creation, social engineering, Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, buffer overflows and virus creation. This course will prepare all participants wishing to take the EC-Council ANSI accredited Certified Ethical Hacker exam 312-50.

Participants will be provided laptops and immersed into an interactive environment where they will be shown how to scan, test, hack and secure their own systems. This lab intensive environment gives each participant the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and practical experience with the current essential security systems.
