Junior Penetration Tester (IHK) - Online (English)

Webinar - Weiterbildungsgesellschaft der IHK Bonn/Rhein-Sieg gGmbH

The certificate course Junior Penetration Tester imparts the craft of detecting and controlled exploitation of security vulnerabilities within a network. Such a penetration test forms the basis for fortifying an IT infrastructure against hacking attacks.

In addition to financially motivated black hat hackers, politically motivated individuals or groups are playing an increasingly significant role. The damages from a single attack can be immense.

The key is to be prepared for this scenario and prevent greater damages. A penetration test subjects the entire IT infrastructure of a client to a comprehensive examination of its security. This includes technical aspects as well as organisational, physical, and the human factor. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities, uncover sources of errors, and ultimately enhance security comprehensively.

Detaillierte Informationen zum Seminar

Inhalte:
Graduates of the Junior Penetration Tester certificate course receive specialised training in the field of IT security: the practical ability to investigate IT infrastructural vulnerabilities within a company. A Junior Penetration Tester can take on supporting activities within a penetration test. This is achieved through practical instruction and the independent application of the learning content.
The participant masters the standard procedures of a penetration test. They learn about legal foundations, standards, and a selection of different career paths, and can name and categorise them as needed. They are capable of independently conducting superficial reconnaissance and identifying obvious vulnerabilities. Additionally, the participant is taught the basics of exploiting vulnerabilities to gain a foothold. The participant is familiar with the differences between exploit frameworks and manual approaches, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as troubleshooting non-functional exploits. They learn various types of privilege escalation and lateral movement and can apply them under guidance. The participant can appropriately prepare and document discovered vulnerabilities in a target audience-oriented manner.
