This 5-day CEH course differs from most security courses in that it teaches how to defend network & systems against hacking by studying in depth how hackers work. Rather than focusing on security audits, the course gives plenty of hands-on experience of attacking systems. By immersing the delegates in the tools and tricks of the "hacking" trade, they learn how to secure their systems & networks against them.
The course is aimed at security auditors, IT security professionals, systems administrators or anyone who is concerned about the integrity of the network infrastructure. Delegates should be experienced systems/network administrators (MCSE or equivalent with an understanding of network technologies & protocols).
