More about this course
- In this course, you'll learn how to proactively test what you have put in place to protect your data. In the first week you'll be able to discuss the basics of deterrents and how to trick attackers into believing they've hit a goldmine of data away from your real systems. In week 2, you'll be able to understand and discuss the steps of penetration testing methodology. In week 3, you will be able to understand and apply what you have learned on your own systems to test whether your systems are secure or not. In week 4, we'll discuss planning for your own methodology that you can apply to your own systems. And finally in week 5, we'll finish up with a project that will allow you to test your skills in a safe environment.
