• Become proficient in scoping, executing, and reporting on vulnerability assessments.
• Recommend mitigation strategies based on vulnerabilities discovered.
• Learn offensive security techniques (ethical hacking): reconnaissance, exploitation, post-exploitation, reporting.
• Understand attacker mind-sets, tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) so you can better defend systems.
• Use hands-on labs and real-world based scenarios (tools, wired/wireless networks, cloud/mobile/IoT) to apply skills.
• Gain ability to prepare professional reports and communicate findings to stakeholders. 

In this course, learners develop ethical hacking and penetration testing skills that build a foundation for success in the cybersecurity industry. With the support of video and rich interactive media, participants learn, apply, and practice ethical hacking skills in meaningful ways through a series of realistic hands-on lab experiences. The course also includes many opportunities for learners to practice what they are learning as they are learning it. Learning by doing is the most powerful way to build new skills and knowledge. 

The Ethical Hacker course includes the following features:

•        34 labs support the independent acquisition of knowledge and ethical hacking skills.

•        86 practice activities provide opportunities for self-assessment and identification of learning deficits.

•        10 modules of content cover important topics that enable students to face ethical hacking challenges.

•        Assessments include 10-chapter exams, a final exam, and a skills-based assessment. 

•        Multimedia learning tools, including videos, interactive practice activities and realistic lab experiences address a variety of learning styles and help stimulate learning and promote increased knowledge retention.
