Certified Cybersecurity Professional

The Programme

This Certified Cybersecurity Professional certification program will immerse participants into an interactive environment where they will be shown how to scan, test, hack and secure their own systems.

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 lab intensive environment gives each participant in-depth knowledge and practical experience with the current essential security systems. Participants will begin by understanding how perimeter defenses work and then be lead into scanning and attacking their own networks, no real network is harmed.

Participants then learn how intruders escalate privileges and what steps can be taken to secure a system. Participants will also learn about Intrusion Detection, Policy Creation, Social Engineering, DDoS Attacks, Buffer Overflows and Virus Creation. When a participant leaves this intensive 10day class they will have hands on understanding and experience in Ethical Hacking.

The tools and techniques that you will learn are not confined to any particular vendor or platform. The aim of this program is to train the ethical hacker of tomorrow who is equally at ease in protecting the conventional or the latest cutting-edge network.
