Fundamentals of Corporate Cyber Warfare Training Course

In this course, students will be immersed in an interactive setting designed to demonstrate how to scan, test, exploit, and secure their own systems. The lab-intensive environment provides each student with in-depth knowledge and practical experience with essential security tools. The journey begins with understanding perimeter defenses, progressing to scanning and attacking their own networks in a safe environment where no real infrastructure is compromised. Participants will learn how intruders escalate privileges and identify the steps necessary to secure a system. The curriculum also covers Intrusion Detection, Policy Creation, Social Engineering, DDoS Attacks, Buffer Overflows, and Virus Creation. Upon completing this intensive 5-day class, students will possess hands-on understanding and practical experience in Ethical Hacking.

The purpose of the Ethical Hacking Training is to:

• Establish and govern minimum standards for credentialing professional information security specialists in ethical hacking measures.
• Inform the public that credentialed individuals meet or exceed the minimum standards.
• Reinforce ethical hacking as a unique and self-regulating profession.

Audience:

This course is ideal for professionals working in positions such as, but not limited to:

• Security Engineers
• Security Consultants
• Security Managers
• IT Director/Managers
• Security Auditors
• IT Systems Administrators
• IT Network Administrators
• Network Architects
• Developers

Why attend this course?

The Certified Lead Ethical Hacker training program equips you with the essential expertise to conduct information system penetration tests. By applying recognized principles, procedures, and testing techniques, you will learn to identify potential threats within computer networks. Throughout the course, you will acquire the knowledge and skills required to manage a penetration testing project or team, as well as to plan and execute internal and external pentests in alignment with standards such as the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) and the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM). Additionally, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to draft reports and propose countermeasures. Through practical exercises, you will master penetration testing techniques and develop the abilities needed to manage a pentest team, handle customer communications, and resolve conflicts.

This training course offers a technical perspective on information security through ethical hacking, utilizing common techniques like information gathering and vulnerability detection, both inside and outside of business networks.

The curriculum is also aligned with the NICE (The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education) Protect and Defend framework.

Once you have mastered the necessary knowledge and skills in ethical hacking, you may take the exam and apply for the "PECB Certified Lead Ethical Hacker" credential. Holding a PECB Lead Ethical Hacker certificate demonstrates that you possess the practical skills to perform and manage penetration tests according to industry best practices.

Who should attend?

• Individuals interested in IT Security, particularly ethical hacking, who wish to learn more about the field or begin a professional transition.
• Information security officers and professionals aiming to master ethical hacking and penetration testing techniques.
• Managers or consultants seeking to understand how to oversee the penetration testing process.
• Auditors looking to perform and conduct professional penetration tests.
• Personnel responsible for maintaining the security of organizational information systems.
• Technical experts who want to learn how to prepare for a pentest.
• Cybersecurity professionals and members of information security teams.

The Certified Ethical Hacker certification is a highly sought-after cybersecurity credential recognised globally.

This programme combines comprehensive instruction and hands-on practice to prepare students for both the CEH certification exam and the CEH Practical Exam. Candidates who successfully pass both examinations earn the CEH Master credential in addition to their CEH certification.

Students are offered the option to include either the CPENT or the CHFI course within their package.

Training for either the Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) course or the Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course will be delivered to each student via EC-Council’s online, self-paced, streaming video platform.

CPENT (Pen-test):
Teaches students how to apply the concepts and tools covered in the CEH programme within a live cyber range, using a penetration testing methodology.

CHFI (Computer Forensics):
Provides students with a methodological approach to computer forensics, covering the search and seizure, chain of custody, acquisition, preservation, analysis, and reporting of digital evidence.

Course Description

CEH offers an in-depth understanding of ethical hacking phases, various attack vectors, and preventative countermeasures. It teaches you how hackers think and act maliciously, enabling you to better position your security infrastructure to defend against future attacks. A thorough understanding of system weaknesses and vulnerabilities helps organisations strengthen their security controls and minimise the risk of incidents.

CEH was designed to incorporate a hands-on environment and a systematic process across each ethical hacking domain and methodology, giving you the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills required to achieve the CEH credential. You will be exposed to a completely different perspective on the responsibilities and measures necessary to maintain security.

Who Should Attend

• Law enforcement personnel
• System administrators
• Security officers
• Defence and military personnel
• Legal professionals
• Bankers
• Security professionals

About the Certified Ethical Hacker Master

To earn the CEH Master certification, you must pass the CEH Practical exam. This exam was designed to give students the opportunity to prove they can execute the principles taught in the CEH course. The practical exam requires you to demonstrate the application of ethical hacking techniques such as threat vector identification, network scanning, OS detection, vulnerability analysis, system hacking, and more.

The CEH Practical does not include simulations. Instead, you will be challenged on a live range designed to mimic a corporate network using live virtual machines, networks, and applications.

Successfully completing the challenges found in the CEH Practical Exam is the next step after attaining the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification. Successfully passing both the CEH exam and the CEH Practical will earn you the additional certification of CEH Master.

About the Certified Ethical Hacker Practical

To prove your skills in ethical hacking, we test your abilities with real-world challenges in a realistic environment, using labs and tools that require you to complete specific ethical hacking tasks within a time limit, just as you would face in practice.

The EC-Council CEH (Practical) exam consists of a complex network that replicates a large organisation’s real-life environment and includes various network systems (including DMZ, Firewalls, etc.). You must apply your ethical hacking skills to discover and exploit real-time vulnerabilities while also auditing the systems.

About CPENT

EC-Council’s Certified Penetration Tester (CPENT) programme focuses entirely on penetration testing and will teach you to perform in an enterprise network environment that must be attacked, exploited, evaded, and defended. If you have only worked with flat networks, CPENT’s live practice range will elevate your skills by teaching you to pen-test IoT systems, OT systems, write your own exploits, build custom tools, conduct advanced binary exploitation, perform double pivots to access hidden networks, and customise scripts and exploits to penetrate the innermost segments of a network.

About CHFI

The Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course delivers the discipline of digital forensics from a vendor-neutral perspective. CHFI is a comprehensive programme covering major forensic investigation scenarios and enabling students to acquire the necessary hands-on experience with various forensic investigation techniques and standard forensic tools required to successfully conduct a computer forensic investigation.
