Program name:

IT-6100 Ethical Hacker (PenTest+)

Program description:

The IT-6100 Ethical Hacker program prepares current and future IT professionals for a career in cybersecurity, with a focus on "offensive" strategies to protect an organization from risk. Penetration Testers or PenTesters (also known as Ethical Hackers) pro-actively test for security gaps and weaknesses within organizations of all sizes across all industries. As organizations scramble to protect themselves and their customers, the ability to conduct penetration testing is an emerging skill set that is becoming ever more valuable to the organizations seeking protection, and ever more lucrative for those who possess these skills. It is highly recommended that the student has experience in the field of cybersecurity or hold the CompTIA Security+ certification as a prerequisite to enrollment. The Ethical Hacker (CompTIA PenTest+) program focuses on developing the following 5 primary skills including, Planning and Scoping, Information Gathering & Vulnerability Identification, Attacks & Exploits, Penetration Testing Tools, and Reporting & Communication. Upon completion of this program, graduates should possess the skills to demonstrate hands-on ability to test devices in new environments such as the cloud and mobile, in addition to traditional desktops and servers.
