CEH: Certified Ethical Hacker - Preparation Course

This DIXONTECH course follows the official EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) curriculum, designed to train professionals in ethical hacking methodologies, penetration testing, and advanced countermeasure techniques. Participants will practice with real-world tools to identify vulnerabilities, perform exploit testing, and strengthen cybersecurity frameworks in controlled environments.

TRAINING TOPICS

• Ethical hacking foundations and legal framework

• Footprinting, reconnaissance, and network scanning

• System hacking, malware, and vulnerability analysis

• Web, wireless, cloud, and IoT attacks

• Cryptography, forensics, and countermeasures

BY THE END OF THIS TRAINING COURSE, DELEGATES WILL BE ABLE TO:

• Understand CEH domains and exam blueprint.

• Use ethical hacking tools effectively.

• Conduct reconnaissance and vulnerability scans.

• Perform penetration testing and system exploitation.

• Analyze web, cloud, and IoT vulnerabilities.

• Apply encryption and defensive countermeasures.

• Prepare confidently for CEH certification.

TRAINING IS TAILORED TO:

• Cybersecurity and IT professionals.

• Penetration testers and ethical hackers.

• Security consultants and auditors.

• System administrators and network engineers.

• IT managers preparing for CEH certification.

• Risk and compliance officers.

TRAINING METHODOLOGY

The program integrates theoretical instruction with hands-on practice in virtual labs. Delegates perform simulated attacks, analyze vulnerabilities, and develop countermeasures under expert guidance. Interactive sessions, tool demonstrations, and mock exams ensure mastery of CEH knowledge areas and exam readiness.
