The Certified Professional Ethical Hacker (CPEH) course teaches you to view IT systems through the eyes of an attacker. You learn how to identify vulnerabilities, understand exploits and apply effective countermeasures. This hands-on course is the foundation for penetration testing and ethical hacking in modern network environments.
The CPEH course is the foundational training in Mile2’s penetration testing track. You will learn the value of vulnerability assessments and how to use them to strengthen the security of information systems. You also gain insight into how malware, viruses and other attack techniques work and how to implement countermeasure and recovery strategies. The course combines theory with extensive hands-on labs using tools and techniques commonly employed by real attackers.
