OVERVIEW

The ISAC Advance Vulnerability Analysis & Penetration Testing course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to conduct comprehensive penetration testing assessments in diverse environments. Through a combination of theoretical study and hands-on exercises with Cyberange Virtual Labs, participants will learn about penetration testing methodologies, tools, and techniques used to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in information systems and networks. Emphasis is placed on practical application and real-world scenarios to prepare participants for the challenges of identifying and mitigating security risks effectively.

Course Objectives

Understand the role and responsibilities of a penetration tester within an organization’s security framework.
Learn about the different phases of penetration testing, including reconnaissance, enumeration, exploitation, and reporting.
Gain proficiency in using penetration testing tools and techniques to identify vulnerabilities in systems and networks.
Develop skills in conducting manual and automated vulnerability assessments and exploitation.
Research and maintain proficiency in computer network exploitation, tools, techniques, countermeasures, and trends in computer network vulnerabilities, data hiding, network security, and encryption.
Understand the importance of documentation and reporting in penetration testing engagements.
Learn about common penetration testing methodologies, such as black-box, white-box, and gray-box testing.
Enhance communication and collaboration skills to effectively communicate findings and recommendations to stakeholders.
