59-566 Ethical Hacking
This course provides the student with theory and experience associated
with ethical hacking - the practice of using the same skills employed by
hackers with malicious intent to improve organizational information
security. The successful protection of digital assets of an organization
requires solid understanding of such techniques used by hackers to be
better prepared against those kinds of attacks. Ethical hacking also
requires performing a risk analysis for the particular organization as
well as identifying the data, network and policy vulnerabilities.
Firewalls and intrusion detection systems are examined from an ethical
hacking perspective with focus on protecting digital assets.
