This security certification training equips you with the expertise to advance your career as a penetration tester or security consultant.

What You Will Learn 

Plan and scope penetration tests while ensuring compliance with legal and ethical requirements, and develop detailed reports with remediation recommendations to support engagement management. Perform active and passive reconnaissance, gather information, and enumerate systems to uncover vulnerabilities effectively. Conduct vulnerability scans, analyze results, and validate findings to identify and address security weaknesses. Execute network, host-based, web application, and cloud-based attacks using appropriate tools and techniques to test system defenses.
