Cyber Security Tester – Hands-on Advanced («HAK3»)

• After completing this course, you will be able to incorporate your own creative ethical hacking approaches into your reflections.
• Use of ethical hacking skills to test the effectiveness of measures taken to defend against advanced threats in your own company (hacking labs).
• Incorporate offensive insights into cyber-security strategies for well-secured environments.

This course builds on the Ethical Hacking course series – Ethical Hacking Fundamentals (HAK) and Ethical Hacking Hands-on Deepening (HAK2) – to deepen your hacking skills and after completing all three courses, obtain the Digicomp course certificate: «CSHP – Cyber Security Hacking Professional» and direct admission to the bootcamp: OSSTMM Professional Security Tester (BPST).

In the course we work with KALI LINUX™ and various extensions. You will supplement and deepen the techniques already learned in the previous courses. All participants are provided with an appropriate lab environment for the hands-on exercises. On the basis of practical hacking experiments, you will be introduced to various in-depth topics of penetration testing and can also evaluate actions in well-secured IT environments according to their effectiveness. All participants expressly commit themselves not to misuse the acquired knowledge. A written agreement to this effect must therefore be signed before the course begins.
