Courses

The Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) program prepares students to think and operate like an attacker
while adhering to legal and ethical guidelines. This hands-on course covers the full attack lifecycle—
from reconnaissance and footprinting through exploitation, post-exploitation, and covering tracks—so learners
understand both offensive tactics and defensive countermeasures.

Training emphasizes practical exercise in our Cyber Range, where students practice real-world tools
and techniques across on-premises, cloud, hybrid, and IoT environments. Instruction focuses on the tactics,
techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by adversaries and how to detect, mitigate, and prevent those actions.

What You’ll Learn

• Footprinting, reconnaissance, and OSINT techniques
