Cyber Warfare Training in Waterloo

This instructor-led, live training in Waterloo (online or onsite) covers the different aspects of enterprise security, from AI to database security. It also includes coverage of the latest tools, processes and mindset needed to protect from attacks. 

This class will immerse the students into an interactive environment where they will be shown how to scan, test, hack and secure their own systems. The lab intensive environment gives each student in-depth knowledge and practical experience with the current essential security systems. Students will begin by understanding how perimeter defenses work and then be lead into scanning and attacking their own networks, no real network is harmed. Students then learn how intruders escalate privileges and what steps can be taken to secure a system. Students will also learn about Intrusion Detection, Policy Creation, Social Engineering, DDoS Attacks, Buffer Overflows and Virus Creation. When a student leaves this intensive 5 day class they will have hands on understanding and experience in Ethical Hacking.

The purpose of the Ethical Hacking Training is 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 the minimum standards.
• Reinforce ethical hacking as a unique and self-regulating profession.

Audience:

The Course is ideal for those working in positions such as, but not limited to:

• Security Engineers
• Security Consultants
• Security Managers
• IT Director/Managers
• Security Auditors
• IT Systems Administrators
• IT Network Administrators
• Network Architects
• Developers

Why should you attend?

The Certified Lead Ethical Hacker training course enables you to develop the necessary expertise to perform information system penetration tests by applying recognized principles, procedures and penetration testing techniques, in order to identify potential threats on a computer network. During this training course, you will gain the knowledge and skills to manage a penetration testing project or team, as well as plan and perform internal and external pentests, in accordance with various standards such as the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) and the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM). Moreover, you will also gain a thorough understanding on how to draft reports and countermeasure proposals. Additionally, through practical exercises, you will be able to master penetration testing techniques and acquire the skills needed to manage a pentest team, as well as customer communication and conflict resolution.  

The Certified Lead Ethical Hacking training course provides a technical vision of information security through ethical hacking, using common techniques such as information gathering and vulnerability detection, both inside and outside of a business network.

The training is also compatible with the NICE (The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education) Protect and Defend framework. 

After mastering the necessary knowledge and skills in ethical hacking, you can take the exam and apply for the "PECB Certified Lead Ethical Hacker" credential. By holding a PECB Lead Ethical Hacker certificate, you will be able to demonstrate that you have acquired the practical skills for performing and managing penetration tests according to best practices. 

Who should attend?

• Individuals interested in IT Security, and particularly in Ethical Hacking, to either learn more about the topic or to start a process of professional reorientation.
• Information security officers and professionals seeking to master ethical hacking and penetration testing techniques.
• Managers or consultants wishing to learn how to control the penetration testing process.
• Auditors wishing to perform and conduct professional penetration tests.
• Persons responsible for maintaining the security of information systems in an organization.
• Technical experts who want to learn how to prepare a pentest.
• Cybersecurity professionals and information security team members.

The Certified Ethical Hacker certification is a sought-after cybersecurity certification around the world.

This program incorporates instruction and practice to get students ready to take the CEH certification exam as well as the CEH Practical Exam. Candidates who successfully pass both exams earn the CEH Master credential as well as their CEH certification.

Students are given the choice to add either the CPENT or the CHFI course to their package.

Training for either the Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) course or the Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course will be given to each student via EC-Council’s online, self-paced, streaming video program.

CPENT (Pen-test):
Teaches students how to apply the concepts and tools taught in the CEH program to a pen-test methodology in a live cyber range.

CHFI (Computer Forensics):
Teaches students a methodological approach to computer forensics including searching and seizing, chain-of-custody, acquisition, preservation, analysis and reporting of digital evidence.

Course Description

CEH provides an in-depth understanding of ethical hacking phases, various attack vectors, and preventative countermeasures. It will teach you how hackers think and act maliciously so you will be better positioned to set up your security infrastructure and defend against future attacks. An understanding of system weaknesses and vulnerabilities helps organizations strengthen their system security controls to minimize the risk of an incident.

CEH was built to incorporate a hands-on environment and systematic process across each ethical hacking domain and methodology, giving you the opportunity to work towards proving the required knowledge and skills needed to achieve the CEH credential. You will be exposed to an entirely different posture toward the responsibilities and measures required to be secure.

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 was designed to give students a chance to prove they can execute the principals taught in the CEH course. The practical exam requires you to demonstrate the application of ethical hacking techniques such as threat vector identification, network scanning, OS detection, vulnerability analysis, system hacking, and more.

The CEH Practical does not contain simulations. Rather, you will be challenging a live range which was designed to mimic a corporate network through the use of live virtual machines, networks, and applications.

Successfully completing the challenges found in the CEH Practical Exam is the next step after attaining the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification. Successfully 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 prove that you are skilled in ethical hacking, we test your abilities with real-world challenges in a real-world environment, using labs and tools requiring you to complete specific ethical hacking challenges within a time limit, just as you would face in the real world.

The EC-Council CEH (Practical) exam is comprised of a complex network that replicates a large organization’s real-life network and consists of various network systems (including DMZ, Firewalls, etc.). You must apply your ethical hacking skills to discover and exploit real-time vulnerabilities while also auditing the systems.

About CPENT

EC-Council’s Certified Penetration Tester (CPENT) program is all about the pen test and will teach you to perform in an enterprise network environment that must be attacked, exploited, evaded, and defended. If you have only been working in flat networks, CPENT’s live practice range will teach you to take your skills to the next level by teaching you to pen test IoT systems, OT systems, as well as how to write your own exploits, build your own tools, conduct advanced binaries exploitation, double pivot to access hidden networks, and customization of scripts and exploits to get into the innermost segments of the network.

About CHFI

The Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) course delivers the security discipline of digital forensics from a vendor-neutral perspective. CHFI is a comprehensive course covering major forensic investigation scenarios and enabling students to acquire necessary hands-on experience with various forensic investigation techniques and standard forensic tools necessary to successfully carry out a computer forensic investigation.
