Introduction
This Ethical Hacking Certificate is the desired information security training programme that any information security expert will ever want to be in. You must become a hacker, but an ethical one, in order to master hacking technologies. It offers cutting-edge hacking tools and methods that information security experts and hackers alike utilize to breach a business. It is a known fact that to fight a hacker, you need to think like a hacker. To fight against such attacks, this certification will completely immerse you in the hacker mindset. Any organization's security mindset must extend beyond the silos of a specific vendor, technology, or piece of machinery. You will be thought the five phases of ethical hacking and thought how you can approach including Reconnaissance, Gaining Access, Enumeration, Maintaining Access, and covering your tracks.
