This course is designed to equip professionals with advanced skills and tools required to understand the attacker mindset and proactively identify security vulnerabilities in systems and networks before they can be exploited by malicious actors. The course is based on the Certified Ethical Hacker version 13 (CEH v13) curriculum issued by the EC-Council, the latest release integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques into ethical hacking practices, enabling professionals to address modern and highly sophisticated cyber threats.
This course does not grant a standard attendance certificate. It has been specifically designed to qualify and train participants to successfully pass the official examination, professionally preparing you to obtain the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification accredited by the EC-Council.
Course Objectives
- Establish a solid foundational understanding of the five phases of ethical hacking: reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, and covering tracks.
- Enable participants to utilize more than 500 modern tools and methodologies employed in penetration testing.
- Explain how artificial intelligence (AI) can be leveraged to automate vulnerability discovery and enhance defensive hacking strategies.
- Strengthen the ability to analyze systems and networks to identify vulnerabilities in cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) environments.
- Apply countermeasures against Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) attacks and advanced social engineering techniques.
- Intensively prepare participants to pass both the CEH ANSI (knowledge-based) exam and the CEH Practical exam through realistic attack scenario simulations.
