Ethical hacking plays a crucial role in the broader field of cybersecurity, focusing on identifying potential vulnerabilities within systems and networks before malicious hackers can exploit them. As digital threats become more sophisticated, organizations must proactively strengthen their defences. Ethical hackers, or "white-hat" hackers, use the same tools and methods as cybercriminals but to safeguard rather than harm. The CEH: Certified Ethical Hacker v12 course is designed to give professionals the skills and knowledge needed to perform these activities in a legal and structured manner.

Participants in this course will explore a wide range of hacking techniques, from reconnaissance and network scanning to system hacking and malware analysis. They will learn how to navigate through the various phases of ethical hacking, from gathering information about a target to exploiting system vulnerabilities. The course also delves into advanced topics, such as web application attacks, wireless network vulnerabilities, and security issues surrounding IoT (Internet of Things) and OT (Operational Technology) systems. By the end of the program, participants will have a strong understanding of how to identify and fix security gaps, helping to protect their organizations from potential cyberattacks.
