Certified Ethical Hacking

Catalog description

The course offers immersive experience in ethical hacking methodologies using cyber range labs, allowing participants to gain practical skills in key areas such as reconnaissance, system access, vulnerability exploitation, and data exfiltration. In addition to learning the tools and techniques used by cyber adversaries, this course focuses on adopting a hacker's mindset to better defend against cyber threats. Content in this course is aligned to the EC-Council “Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)” professional certification, and students who successfully complete the course will be authorized to take the CEH exam. Rationale: The EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification is highly coveted in the cybersecurity industry, and its inclusion in our official curriculum will provide our students with a direct pathway to a globally recognized credential. As per EC-Council, CEH is trusted by the Pentagon, used by U.S. government agencies, and adopted by 7 of the Fortune 10 and 47 of the Fortune 100 companies, making it a de facto standard in cybersecurity hiring. Therefore, by making this course a permanent part of our catalog, we not only validate our commitment to providing a cutting-edge education but also directly enhance our graduates' employability and prepare them for a critical and high-demand field. Additionally, a review of higher education offerings clearly shows that elite university programs are integrating comparable industry-leading professional certifications (including Carnegie Mellon Univ Masters in Info Sec Policy & Management, Harvard Extension School Cybersecurity MS program, NYU Tandon School of Engineering, Johns Hopkins Online Cybersecurity Program) into their curriculum.
