Upon completion of this intensive five-day course, participants will have hands-on understanding and experience in ethical hacking, specifically tailored for government applications. ### Purpose of the Ethical Hacking Training The primary objectives of the Ethical Hacking Training are to: - Establish and govern minimum standards for credentialing professional information security specialists in ethical hacking measures. - Inform the public that credentialed individuals meet or exceed these minimum standards. - Reinforce ethical hacking as a unique and self-regulating profession. ### Audience This course is ideal for professionals working in positions such as, but not limited to: - Security Engineers - Security Consultants - Security Managers - IT Directors/Managers - Security Auditors - IT Systems Administrators - IT Network Administrators - Network Architects - Developers

Why Should You Attend?

The Certified Lead Ethical Hacker training course equips you with the essential expertise to conduct information system penetration tests by applying recognized principles, procedures, and techniques. This course will help you identify potential threats on computer networks and manage a penetration testing project or team effectively. During the training, you will learn how to plan and perform both internal and external penetration tests in compliance with standards such as the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) and the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM). Additionally, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of drafting reports and proposing countermeasures. Through practical exercises, you will master penetration testing techniques and develop skills in managing a pentest team, customer communication, and conflict resolution.

This training provides a technical overview of information security through ethical hacking, using common methods like information gathering and vulnerability detection within and outside business networks. The course is aligned with the NICE (National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education) Protect and Defend framework, ensuring that it meets industry standards and best practices.

After acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills in ethical hacking, you can take the exam to earn the "PECB Certified Lead Ethical Hacker" credential. Holding this certificate demonstrates your proficiency in performing and managing penetration tests according to established best practices, which is crucial for government and private sector roles alike.

Who Should Attend?

• Individuals interested in IT security and ethical hacking, whether to deepen their knowledge or explore a career change.
• Information security officers and professionals seeking to master ethical hacking and penetration testing techniques.
• Managers and consultants who want to learn how to oversee the penetration testing process effectively.
• Auditors aiming to conduct professional penetration tests.
• Personnel responsible for maintaining the security of information systems in an organization.
• Technical experts looking to prepare for and execute pentests.
• Cybersecurity professionals and members of information security teams who need advanced skills for their roles.

The Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification is highly sought after in the field of cybersecurity, both domestically and internationally.

This program includes comprehensive instruction and practical exercises designed to prepare students for the CEH certification exam and the CEH Practical Exam. Successfully passing both exams confers the CEH Master credential along with the CEH certification.

Students have the option to add either the CPENT or the CHFI course to their training package.

The Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) course or the Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course will be provided to each student through EC-Council’s online, self-paced, streaming video program for government use.

CPENT (Pen-test):
This course teaches students how to apply the concepts and tools covered in the CEH program to a penetration testing methodology within a live cyber range environment.

CHFI (Computer Forensics):
This course provides a methodological approach to computer forensics, including techniques for searching and seizing digital evidence, maintaining chain-of-custody, acquiring, preserving, analyzing, and reporting on digital evidence.

Course Description

The CEH program offers an in-depth understanding of ethical hacking phases, various attack vectors, and preventative countermeasures. It will equip you with the knowledge to understand how hackers think and operate maliciously, thereby enabling you to better secure your organization’s infrastructure and defend against future attacks. An awareness of system weaknesses and vulnerabilities helps organizations enhance their security controls and minimize the risk of incidents.

The CEH curriculum is designed to provide a hands-on environment and systematic process across each ethical hacking domain and methodology, giving students the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to earn the CEH credential. You will gain a new perspective on the responsibilities and measures required to maintain security.

Who Should Attend

• Law enforcement personnel
• System administrators
• Security officers
• Defense and military personnel
• Legal professionals
• Bankers
• Security professionals

About the Certified Ethical Hacker Master

To earn the CEH Master certification, you must pass the CEH Practical exam. The CEH Practical Exam is designed to assess students' ability to apply the principles taught in the CEH course. This practical exam requires you to demonstrate ethical hacking techniques such as threat vector identification, network scanning, OS detection, vulnerability analysis, system hacking, and more.

The CEH Practical does not include simulations; instead, it involves challenging a live range that mimics a corporate network using live virtual machines, networks, and applications. Successfully completing the challenges in the CEH Practical Exam is the next step after obtaining the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification. Passing both the CEH exam and the CEH Practical will earn you the additional certification of CEH Master.

About the Certified Ethical Hacker Practical

To demonstrate your proficiency in ethical hacking, we assess your abilities through real-world challenges in a realistic environment. This involves using labs and tools to complete specific ethical hacking tasks within a time limit, mirroring real-world scenarios.

The EC-Council CEH (Practical) exam features a complex network that simulates a large organization’s real-life network infrastructure, including various systems such as DMZs and firewalls. You must apply your ethical hacking skills to discover and exploit live vulnerabilities while also auditing the systems.

About CPENT

EC-Council’s Certified Penetration Tester (CPENT) program focuses on penetration testing in an enterprise network environment that requires attack, exploitation, evasion, and defense. If you have experience working only in flat networks, CPENT’s live practice range will elevate your skills by teaching you to test IoT systems, OT systems, write your own exploits, build custom tools, conduct advanced binary exploitation, double pivot to access hidden networks, and customize scripts and exploits to penetrate the innermost segments of a network.

About CHFI

The Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course provides a vendor-neutral perspective on digital forensics. This comprehensive program covers major forensic investigation scenarios and equips students with hands-on experience in various forensic techniques and standard forensic tools necessary for conducting successful computer forensic investigations.
