Professional Certificate in Cybersecurity Fundamentals and Ethical Hacking

At the end of the programme, the learner will be able to: Explain the CIA security requirements and recognise their breaches in recent security incidents Describe and apply key concepts and mechanisms of principal protection mechanisms in cybersecurity, such as encryption, authentication, and secure channel Identify the limitations of classical cryptographic schemes, and also recognize well-known attacks on vulnerable hosts, networks, and web servers Utilise some basic security tools (e.g., OpenSSL, Wireshark) and security-related Linux commands to perform encryption and network traffic analysis Pinpoint flaws in programs due to common insecure programming practices, and suggest improvements using more secure practices instead Explain ethical hacking’s objectives, stages, and available tools Utilise cybersecurity tools for footprinting and enumerating target systems Utilise cybersecurity tools for scanning for and exploiting vulnerabilities in target systems Utilise cybersecurity tools for performing post-exploitation steps on exploited systems Explain and apply possible counter measures against attacks
