What’s the course about

​

Ethical Hacking is the process of breaking into an organization's IT networks and systems to test their weakness and vulnerabilities. There are five phases in hacking. They include reconnaissance, gaining access, enumeration, maintaining access, and covering tracks. Hackers use various hacking tools and techniques in each of these phases.

Ethical hackers conduct vulnerability assessment, risk assessment, penetration testing and system protection tests and fix security issues before they are exploited by hackers with malicious intent.
