Course Overview
Objectives
Cybersecurity remains a critical priority across every industry, with new privacy breaches making headlines almost weekly. As organizations scramble to defend their data, penetration testing has
emerged as a vital and highly lucrative skill set. This course bridges the gap between theory and practice by introducing you to core offensive security methodologies through a hands-on, simulated
pen test for a fictitious organization.
Recommended Experiences
- Intermediate knowledge of information security concepts, including but not limited to identity and access management (IAM), cryptographic concepts and implementations, computer networking concepts and implementations, and common security technologies.
