Any
security defense course educates regarding proper
configuration, firewalls, or rather preemptive
security. CEH takes the alternative approach -
defense in depth by attacking the systems. This is
in sharp contrast to courses that teach defensive
tactics alone. CEH imparts offensive tactics
supplemented with defensive countermeasures.
This class will
immerse the student into an interactive environment
where they will be shown how to scan, test, hack and
secure their own systems. The lab intensive
environment gives each student in-depth knowledge
and practical experience with the current essential
security systems.
Students will
begin by understanding how perimeter defenses work
and then be lead into scanning and attacking their
own networks, no real network is harmed. 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, DDoS Attacks, Buffer
Overflows and Virus Creation. When a student leaves
this course they will have hands on understanding
and experience in Ethical Hacking.
When you are a
certified ethical hacker, you are more than a
security auditor or a vulnerability tester or a
penetration tester alone. You are exposed to
security checklists that will help you audit the
organization's information assets, tools which will
check for vulnerabilities that can be exploited and
above all a methodology to assess the security
posture of your organization by doing a penetration
test against it. In short, the knowledge you will
acquire has practical value to make your work place
a more secure and efficient one. |
