| Certified Information Security Engineer (CISE): Penetration Testing | 5 | This intensive hands-on practical course ensures participants are knowledgeable about the security aspects related to IT Systems and have the proficiency to secure the IT environment. It consists of 4 phases: Phase 1: participants will be introduced to the overall concepts of security, and the need for a comprehensive security framework. Phase 2: participants will become familiar with a variety of tools of the trade and be walked through various attack scenarios related to commonly used applications, services and devices on live networks & systems. Phase 3: participants will use the tools and techniques gained in Phase 2 to implement attack on a full live network. This phase ensures that participants can actually do tasks rather than simply having theoretical knowledge. The facilitator will set up the environments and act as a guide and mentor as required. Phase 4: is the assessment which consists of both a theory and a practical assessment. In this phase, there is no guidance from the facilitator and participants are expected to demonstrate their attack capabilities within a stipulated time frame. | Intermediate | Request Info |
