Master the course with just 5 Modules
This course takes learners from the foundations of penetration testing to advanced practices in threat hunting and cryptography. Beginning with planning, reconnaissance, and ethical considerations, participants progress to executing attacks, analyzing vulnerabilities, and reporting findings using industry frameworks. The journey continues with proactive threat intelligence, hands-on hunting techniques, and the application of cryptographic methods to secure communication and data. The course concludes with a practical capstone project that integrates all skills, preparing learners to address real-world cybersecurity challenges with confidence.
Cybersecurity Foundations and SOC Implementation
- Learn cybersecurity principles, frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001, COBIT), and SOC architecture with analyst roles and workflows.
- Gain hands-on skills in SIEM using Splunk for log collection, correlation, dashboards, alerts, and regional use case.
- Apply incident response, risk management, threat modeling, vulnerability management, and compliance standards (PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR).
Advanced Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing
- Master ethical hacking methodology, OSINT, reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, and system exploitation.
- Conduct network, web, and wireless security assessments with Wireshark, SQL injection, XSS, MITM, and WPA/WPA2 attacks.
- Use Metasploit for exploit development, payload generation, post-exploitation, APT simulation, and professional reporting.
Digital Forensics and Incident Investigation
- Explore forensic investigation lifecycle, evidence handling, legal/regulatory standards, and chain of custody.
- Perform computer, network, mobile, and memory forensics using FTK Imager, Wireshark, tcpdump, Volatility, and Autopsy.
