Fundamentals of Corporate Cyber Warfare Training Course

This course immerses participants in an interactive environment where they learn to scan, test, hack, and secure their own systems. The lab-intensive setting provides each student with in-depth knowledge and practical experience using essential, modern security tools. Students start by understanding how perimeter defenses function before moving on to scan and attack their own networks—all in a safe, controlled manner with no real networks affected. They then explore how intruders escalate privileges and discover the steps necessary to secure a system. Additional topics include Intrusion Detection, Policy Creation, Social Engineering, DDoS Attacks, Buffer Overflows, and Virus Creation. Upon completing this intensive five-day class, students will possess hands-on understanding and 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 roles such as, but not limited to:

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

Why should you attend?

The Certified Lead Ethical Hacker training course equips you with the essential expertise to conduct information system penetration tests by applying recognized principles, procedures, and penetration testing techniques. This enables you to identify potential threats within computer networks. During this course, you will acquire the knowledge and skills required to manage a penetration testing project or team, as well as plan and execute internal and external pentests in compliance 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 skills necessary to lead a pentest team, manage customer communication, and resolve conflicts.

The Certified Lead Ethical Hacking training course offers a technical perspective on information security through ethical hacking, utilizing common techniques such as information gathering and vulnerability detection, both within and outside a business network.

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

After mastering 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 allows you to demonstrate that you have acquired the practical skills to perform and manage penetration tests according to best practices.

Who should attend?

• Individuals interested in IT Security, particularly ethical hacking, who wish to learn more about the topic or begin a professional career change.
• Information security officers and professionals seeking to master ethical hacking and penetration testing techniques.
• Managers or consultants wishing to learn how to oversee the penetration testing process.
• Auditors wishing to perform and conduct professional penetration tests.
• Persons responsible for maintaining the security of information systems within an organization.
• Technical experts who want to learn how to prepare for a pentest.
• Cybersecurity professionals and information security team members.

The Certified Ethical Hacker qualification is a highly regarded cybersecurity credential globally.

This programme combines instruction and practical exercises to prepare students for both the CEH certification exam and the CEH Practical Exam. Candidates who successfully pass both examinations will receive the CEH credential alongside the prestigious CEH Master distinction.

Participants have the option to include either the CPENT or the CHFI course within their package.

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

CPENT (Penetration Testing):
Educates students on applying the concepts and tools from the CEH programme to a penetration testing methodology within a live cyber range environment.

CHFI (Computer Forensics):
Instructs students on a methodical approach to computer forensics, covering aspects such as searching and seizing, chain of custody, data acquisition, preservation, analysis, and the reporting of digital evidence.

Course Description

CEH offers a deep understanding of ethical hacking phases, various attack vectors, and preventative countermeasures. It teaches you to think and act like a malicious hacker, enabling you to better establish security infrastructure and defend against future threats. Understanding system weaknesses and vulnerabilities allows organisations to strengthen their security controls and minimise the risk of incidents.

The CEH programme is designed to incorporate a hands-on environment and systematic process across each ethical hacking domain and methodology. This provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills required to achieve the CEH credential. You will gain exposure to a fundamentally different perspective on the responsibilities and measures necessary for 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 attain the CEH Master certification, you must pass the CEH Practical exam. This exam is designed to allow students to demonstrate their ability to execute the principles taught in the CEH course. The practical exam requires you to show the application of ethical hacking techniques, including threat vector identification, network scanning, operating system detection, vulnerability analysis, system hacking, and more.

The CEH Practical exam does not use simulations. Instead, you will engage with a live range designed to mimic a corporate network using live virtual machines, networks, and applications.

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

About the Certified Ethical Hacker Practical

To prove your proficiency in ethical hacking, we assess your abilities using real-world challenges in a realistic environment. You will use labs and tools to complete specific ethical hacking challenges within a time limit, mirroring the conditions you would face in the real world.

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

About CPENT

EC-Council’s Certified Penetration Tester (CPENT) programme focuses on penetration testing. It teaches you to operate within 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. It covers penetration testing of IoT and OT systems, writing your own exploits, building custom tools, conducting advanced binary exploitation, double pivoting to access hidden networks, and customising scripts and exploits to reach the innermost segments of the network.

About CHFI

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