Companies and governments are turning to ethical hackers to help strengthen security by finding vulnerabilities before malicious hackers can exploit them. As a result, ethical hacking is a growing industry; more and more people use their technical skills for both fun and profit.

Although ethical hackers use the same methods to test and bypass security defenses as their less principled counterparts, they are sanctioned to find vulnerabilities. Companies can document what was found and fix it as soon as possible to improve security. Ethical hackers also provide individual services to help people recover data, email, and documents that may be inaccessible because of many problems.

To be considered for a job as an ethical hacker, most employers require an ethical hacking certification. Certification tests ensure that the hacker understands the technology and the ethical responsibilities of the job. In addition, since many employers do not technically have the expertise to evaluate applicants for these jobs, a certification gives them some assurance that the candidate is qualified.

Our C|EH course provides a comprehensive ethical hacking and network security training program to meet the standards of highly skilled security professionals. Hundreds of SMEs and authors have contributed to the content presented in the C|EH courseware. In addition, the latest tools and exploits uncovered from the underground community are featured in this course. Researchers have invested thousands of person-hours researching the latest trends and discovering the covert techniques used by the underground community.

This course will immerse you into an interactive environment where you will learn how to scan, test, hack, and secure your systems. The lab-intensive environment gives each student in-depth knowledge and practical experience with the current essential security systems. You will begin by understanding how perimeter defenses work and then be led into scanning and attacking networks; no real network. You then learn how intruders escalate privileges and what steps can be taken to secure a system. You will also learn about Intrusion Detection, Policy Creation, Social Engineering, DDoS Attacks, Buffer, plus much more.

Another benefit of the CEH certification is the amount of knowledge you can get regarding the tools of the hacker trade. While most IT pros have experience with at least some of the tools used by a CEH, they often lack the in-depth knowledge required to use these tools for criminal purposes. Learning how malicious attackers use various tools allows you to secure your networks, applications, and other assets.
