Academy

Certified Ethical Hacker

CEH offers a comprehensive grasp of ethical hacking, the various attack vectors and preventive countermeasures. You will learn how hackers think and act so that you are better positioned to build your own security infrastructure and ward off future attacks. Understanding system weaknesses and vulnerabilities allows organisations to strengthen their security measures and minimise the risk of incidents.

Subjects that will be discussed:

  • Ethical Hacking Basics: Key principles, attack vectors, and defenses.
  • Practical Skills: Hands-on hacking tools and techniques in a lab.
  • Advanced Topics: Network security, malware, cloud, and IoT hacking.

Objectives

CEH has been designed to examine all domains and methodologies of ethical hacking in detail and ensure that all participants get to apply this knowledge in practice in a dedicated, hands-on lab environment. Participants audit a system for weaknesses and vulnerabilities using the same tools and exploits as malicious hackers but in compliance with legal provisions and in the interest of assessing the security posture of a target system and organisation as effectively as possible. They learn how hackers think and act maliciously so that they can better position their own organisation’s security infrastructure and defend against future attacks. Participants also learn how to independently plan and execute penetration testing.

During this five-day intensive course, participants gain a new mindset regarding the obligations and measures necessary for ensuring an organisation’s security.
