Hands-on labs
Get hands-on penetration testing experience in our cloud-hosted lab environment. Typical labs consist of an app demonstrating a vulnerability commonly found in a Web or mobile app. You’ll learn how to assess the app like a black hat hacker and exploit the app to demonstrate the true risk of the vulnerability to the app owner. This can involve taking control of the app itself, downloading data the app stores or using the app as a launching pad to attack unsuspecting visitors with a malicious script. You’ll also learn remediation steps so that the app owner can properly close the security hole.

-
- What career opportunities are available to penetration Testing boot camp graduates?
-
While career opportunities are defined by education, certification, years of experience, and location—opportunity and the need for Ethical Hackers and Penetration Testers is rising at a significant rate. As cybersecurity threats continue to increase, the need for educated professionals in the field to identify weaknesses and prevent data breaches will grow alongside it. Click here for more information on career paths for pen-testers and related salary info.
-
- How is penetration testing different from ethical hacking?
-
While the terms “Ethical Hacking” and “Penetration Testing” are often used interchangeably, there are a few details that differentiate the two. “Penetration testing” is a procedure to discover vulnerabilities about an information system—mimicking the methods of black hat hackers that would attempt to compromise secure information. “Ethical hacking” is more of an umbrella term that encompasses all hacking methods, including pen-testing. Click here for more information about the differences between these terms.
