Master Basics of Ethical Hacking and Network Security

Course Overview

The Master Basics of Ethical Hacking and Network Security course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles of ethical hacking and modern network security practices. As cyber threats continue to evolve, organisations increasingly rely on security professionals who can identify vulnerabilities, analyse network risks, and implement effective defensive strategies. This course introduces learners to the essential tools, techniques, and frameworks used in ethical hacking and cybersecurity.

Throughout the course, learners will explore core cybersecurity terminology, system configuration practices, and the use of specialised security tools within controlled environments. The training also introduces Kali Linux, a widely used platform in cybersecurity testing, helping participants understand how ethical hackers analyse systems, identify weaknesses, and simulate attacks to strengthen security defences.

Participants will also gain insight into network scanning, mapping, Wi-Fi security testing, encryption methods, and packet analysis. By combining ethical hacking fundamentals with defensive awareness, the course develops practical understanding of how cyber attacks occur and how organisations can proactively protect digital infrastructure.
