The training combines concise presentations with direct application in practical labs. Theory and practice are deliberately alternated so that participants can immediately test new concepts in a live cyber range.
The interval format allows sufficient time between course days for repetition, consolidation, and reinforcement of what has been learned. The numerous hands-on labs and capture-the-flag challenges promote a lasting understanding and the development of real-world skills in dealing with current cyber threats.
Training package:
- Digital course materials
- 85+ labs
- CTF challenges
- Microlearning library
Many participants are at the beginning of their security careers and are looking for a structured, understandable introduction to a complex subject area. Beginners, students, and career changers need guidance, immediately applicable basic knowledge, and an initial sense of achievement in dealing with real attack scenarios.
IT support staff and system and network administrators want to make their daily work more secure, better understand security risks, and learn specific measures for hardening their environments.
Aspiring SOC analysts, on the other hand, need practical experience with logs, traffic analysis, and incident response processes in order to quickly become operational in security teams. What all target groups have in common is the desire to quickly build up real, practical security skills that give them confidence in their work and enable them to take the next step in their careers.
There are no formal prerequisites for this training.
Basic knowledge of IT, networks, and operating systems is recommended.
You will receive an exam voucher from us, which you can redeem at the EC-Council Exam Center. There, you will create a user account and can freely choose your exam date and time. The exam takes place online and is monitored live by an EC-Council proctor.
On the day of the exam, log in to your account and connect to the remote proctor using the “Start Exam” function. You will need a PC or Mac with a camera, microphone, and stable internet connection. Before starting, the proctor will perform a brief identity check, check your room and surroundings, and ensure that no aids are present (e.g., books, notes, or other devices). Have your ID or passport ready for the identity check.
During the exam, you must allow screen sharing, and the proctor will activate the exam for you. You must remain in the camera's field of view throughout the entire exam.
After submission, you will receive your results directly on the screen. Your digital certificate will be available a few days later on the EC Council portal (ASPEN).
Exam:
- Format: Multiple choice & practical tasks, web-based
- Questions: 60
- Duration: 3 hours
