Today’s network environment is dominated by the threats of networking penetration, social engineering and direct fraud. Network professionals are required to possess a wide variety of skills to protect a network against attack. The United States government has indicted five Chinese government officials for hacking into the networks of United States private companies. Hackers are after information, which they believe to be highly profitable.
The practice of hacking once carried out by youth with a lot of time on their hands has given way to highly trained and professional hackers who are backed by major companies and governments having one goal in mind, which is stealing information, which will bring a large profit to the organization who can obtain this information.
Companies having proprietary data to protect are requiring their network professionals to have a certification demonstrating skills and knowledge in the field of computer hacking. This certificate is the Certified Ethical Hacker sponsored by EC Counsel. In this article we will provide an overview of the specific skills, which are required for the Certified Ethical Hacker Certificate.
Certified Ethical Hacker
Course Description
The Certified Ethical Hacker Program certifies individuals in the specific network security discipline of Ethical Hacking from a vendor-neutral perspective. A Certified Ethical Hacker is a skilled professional who understands and knows how to look for the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems and uses the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker.
Course Duration
40 hours
Target Student: The Certified Ethical Hacker certification will fortify the application knowledge of security officers, auditors, security professionals, site administrators, and anyone who is concerned about the integrity of the network infrastructure.
Delivery Method: Instructor-led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured minds-on and hands-on activities.
Benefits: This class will immerse the student into an interactive environment where they will be shown how to scan, test, and secure their own systems. The lab-intensive environment gives each student in-depth knowledge and practical experience with all current essential security systems. Students will begin by understanding how perimeter defenses work and then be led into scanning and attacking their own networks. Students then learn how intruders escalate privileges and what steps can be taken to secure a system. Students will also learn about intrusion detection, policy creation, social engineering, open source intelligence, incident handling, and log interpretation.
What's Next: The CEH Program certifies individuals in the specific network security discipline of Ethical Hacking from a vendor-neutral perspective. The Certified Ethical Hacker certification will significantly benefit security officers, auditors, security professionals, site administrators, and anyone who is concerned about the integrity of the network infrastructure.
