Think like a hacker. Defend like a pro.<\/strong>

Advanced Cybersecurity Techniques course, a senior cybersecurity APL engineer at the Applied Physics Laboratory, the second course in the three-part Introduction to Ethical Hacking certificate program\u2014takes you deep into real-world offensive cybersecurity strategies, tactics, and techniques. Designed by cybersecurity experts from Johns Hopkins University\u2019s Applied Physics Laboratory<\/strong>, this course emphasizes hands-on learning, red team tactics, and project-based mastery. 

This course focuses on methods to attack and exploit data in motion, across the network, and their associated countermeasures.  From mobile devices, DNS attacks and scanning, reconnaissance to exploitation and persistence, you’ll move beyond theory\u2014practicing the same techniques used by penetration testers and ethical hackers in the field. With a step-by-step, attack-driven curriculum<\/strong>, you’ll study and analyze case studies and real-world events that will equip you with offensive cyber tactics and techniques, as well as the knowledge of what observables are associated with these attacks.  Work through real scenarios using industry-standard principles, guided by instructors with decades of experience in national security and threat analysis.  

This course follows an industry-standard hacking methodology and builds critical skills across the entire hacking lifecycle<\/strong>\u2014from reconnaissance to exploitation and post-access activities. Be prepared to tackle professional certifications<\/strong>, including CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker), CompTIA Security+, and OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional)\u2014making this course the ideal next step if you’re looking to enter or advance in the cybersecurity field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
