Overview
Cybersecurity involves safeguarding computer systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access and attacks. It includes measures such as network security, information security, and incident response to ensure the integrity of digital information. Ethical Hacking is a proactive practice within cybersecurity where authorized professionals simulate cyber attacks to identify and fix vulnerabilities in systems, networks, or applications. This process, including penetration testing and security audits, aims to fortify defenses against potential malicious exploits. Ethical hacking is integral to maintaining the security and resilience of digital systems in the face of evolving cyber threats.
Ethical Hacking Techniques: Authorized professionals simulate cyber attacks to identify vulnerabilities, ensuring proactive defense against malicious exploitation.
Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment: Systematic evaluation to discover and rectify vulnerabilities, enhancing overall security posture.
Network Protection and Attack Detection: Implementation of measures to secure networks, coupled with detection mechanisms to identify and respond to potential threats.
Digital Forensics and Incident Response: Investigative processes for analyzing and responding to cybersecurity incidents, aiding in understanding and mitigating the impact of breaches.
Malware Analysis: Examination of malicious software to understand its behavior, origins, and methods, enabling effective countermeasures.
Web Application Security: Measures and techniques to secure web applications, protecting against vulnerabilities and unauthorized access.
SOC Analysis/SIEM: Security Operations Center (SOC) analysis using Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools for real-time monitoring, analysis, and response to security events.
Time Commitment for the Program:
Weekly Requirement: Participants are expected to dedicate a minimum of 8 hours per week to online zoom classes and extra materials for lessons.
Skill Development: The program focuses on equipping participants with both non-technical and technical skills essential for roles in cybersecurity or information security analysis.
Non-Technical Training: A portion of the program is dedicated to cultivating critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Participants will also receive training in professional writing and reporting, crucial components for effective communication within the cybersecurity domain.
