Ethical Hacking Courses

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the intriguing and interesting world of ethical hacking. With the ever-growing scope of Information Systems and the intricacies in the way different types of systems are interconnected, the world is waking up to challenges to keep information secure. Because of the tremendous implications this has on an organisation’s credibility and performance, companies are being pushed to implement a dedicated team of information security personnel, who are experts in studying the vulnerabilities present within and outside the system that may attract hackers. In order for them to do this with utmost perfection, it becomes important for them to learn how hackers work and be able to hack into the system, but ethically.
