This course aims to provide you with a strong practical and theoretical understanding of cybersecurity, hacking, digital forensics, security operations and the underlying associated computer science. The course is designed to help you develop skills in the following areas. • Understanding who ‘hackers’ typically are, the techniques they use to break into systems and the way we defend against them. • Learning how to examine computers and networks for digital artefacts, and how these can be used in a legal case, or as part of incident response. • Understanding how the network infrastructure connects systems, and the impact on security.
Key Course Benefits• Join a thriving community of ethical hackers with opportunities to participate in societies and live ‘hackathon’ type events*• Previous graduates have gone on to become security consultants, security engineers, penetration testers and other sector-specific roles. • Practical, hands-on approach to teaching, where you have the chance to demonstrate the theoretical aspects of the course through real-world examples • Dedicated specialised learning environment - the Ethical Hacking Lab
