Ready to take your IT career to the next level? This five-day boot camp powered by Infosec, a leading provider of cybersecurity training, will teach you how to legally and ethically discover security vulnerabilities before they are exploited by cybercriminals. Get hands-on experience with the same tools and techniques used by malicious hackers while also preparing to pass the EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and CompTIA PenTest+ certification exams.
To enroll, you should have a firm understanding of the Windows Operating System, exposure to the Linux Operating System or other Unix-based operating systems, and a grasp of the TCP/IP protocols.
This boot camp is ideal for penetration and vulnerability testers, cybersecurity analysts and consultants, offensive security professionals, or anyone interested in learning more about ethical hacking and developing their penetration testing skills.
Earning ethical hacking certifications like the CEH and PenTest+ is a great way to break into a career as a cybersecurity professional. Many organizations require applicants to have a CEH certification to qualify for security-related jobs, especially roles related to penetration testing and social engineering or those requiring security clearance. It is likely that you will command a higher salary than non-certified individuals, and you can use the EC-Council CEH and CompTIA PenTest+ certifications to negotiate a higher salary when entering a new role.
There are many roles for ethical hackers that are currently in high demand across the U.S. Some of the most common job titles include network security administrator, information security analyst, computer network defense analyst, penetration tester, and forensic analyst.
The need for ethical hackers has grown tremendously over the last 10 years and demand is only accelerating. Ethical hackers fall under the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) category of Information Security Analysts, and the BLS is predicting a 33% growth in jobs in this area over the next decade.
Getting a certification that validates your ability to protect valuable information will put you at the top of employer candidate lists. The CEH and PenTest+ certifications are well known in the industry for providing individuals with an in-depth view of ethical hacking and penetration testing.
Yes, this boot camp prepares you for certifications that meet U.S. Department of Defense Directive 8570.1 requirements for government employees or contractors engaged in work related to information security.
