JKUAT CERTIFICATE IN IT SECURITY

ETHICAL HACKING: SECURITY VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT, DETECTION AND
PREVENTION – 20th November – 1st December 2006

VENUE - JKUAT e-GOVERNMENT ACADEMY, JUJA CAMPUS

COURSE CONTENT
This is a unique, authoritative, high-value, hands-on practical course
which will provide participants with essential understanding of the
tools, methodologies and vulnerabilities that hackers/intruders could
employ to exploit the IT systems of their organisations. Most
organisations now realise that in order to defend themselves against
the threat of attack by hackers, crackers, and indeed any individual
intent on causing disruption to their IT systems, IT staff must have
an informed and current understanding of the present-day
methodologies, tools, and vulnerabilities which allow these exploits
to happen.

This Ethical Hacking course is designed to educate IT professionals in
order to allow them
to defend systems against hacking attacks. During this course,
participants will learn about the hacker mindset and become familiar
with the tools and methodologies that are used to attack systems.
Using state-of-the-art classroom setups, delegates work with
LINUX/UNIX and Windows systems, and associated server software. A wide
range of hacking tools and security auditing tools are used during the
course.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course fulfils two vital objectives for anyone working in IT
systems administration, IT security or IT support roles:
1.The course builds a strong awareness of the wide range of risks and
threats now faced even by organisations which believe they have strong
security solutions in place.
2.The course provides delegates with a solid understanding of the
control measures that need to be put in place in order to limit an
organisation's vulnerabilities and risk of attack.
