Advanced - Junior Expert Ethical Hacker | CYBERSECURITY & CLOUD duration Part-time
In today's highly interconnected world, cybersecurity plays a crucial role in the broader framework of business risk management. In fact, it is an area destined to acquire an increasingly important role within company processes and the world of work.
Ethical Hackers are the leading figures in this field: by mastering the same tools used by hackers, they exploit the point of view of an attacker to deploy effective countermeasures for systems protection.
This course will allow students to build solid foundations to specialize even further in subjects such as Vulnerability Assessment, Penetration Test, Malware Analysis, Incident Response, Digital Forensics.
The lectures will take place in a creative environment, with references to the typical underground "Old School" culture of hacking and within the framework of a Learning-by-Doing approach. Theory will thus be accompanied by a substantial part of hands-on practice (e.g. hacking simulations in a Linux environment), which will contribute to speed up and facilitate the entire learning process.
The course includes the preparation module for the EXIN Ethical Hacking Foundation international certification. For those who wish so, there is also the possibility to attend the course and sit the exam to obtain the international certification EXIN Information Security Management Foundation.
