• Classroom

Dive into an interactive environment where you will learn to scan, test and secure systems against hackers. Hands-on lab exercises provide in-depth knowledge and practical experience with the latest essential security systems.

Understand perimeter defenses, and then scan and attack your own networks (networks are not harmed). Learn how intruders escalate privileges and the critical steps to secure a system. Study intrusion detection, policy creation, social engineering, DDoS attacks, buffer overflows, virus creation and cloud computing. Upon completion, you will be ready to schedule the CEH exam through the UAH Testing and Certification Services. Visit .eccouncil.org for complete certification information.
