Completed Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) course or basic knowledge of hacking as part of the following course as well as good TCP/IP knowledge are required:

This Hands-on course can be attended together with the Cyber Security Tester - Hands-on Foundation («HAK») course and the follow-up course Cyber Security Tester - Hands-on Advanced («HAK3») to prepare for various «Security Offense» certificates, such as the CompTIA PenTest+ certificate.

The OPST certification has been recognized for the «Master in Information Technology Security» diploma from La Salle University in Barcelona. This institution is part of the international La Salle educational network, which also includes Manhattan College in New York and La Salle University in Philadelphia. All OPST certificates carry both the ISECOM and La Salle seals, as a sign of the prestige that comes with them. Digicomp offers in addition exclusively for graduates of the HAK course series the three-day Bootcamp: OSSTMM Professional Security Tester (BPST) inclusive examination.

Participants must have a remote desktop client installed on their PC/notebook.

• Under Windows, the official Microsoft client is usually already installed
• macOS users can download the official Microsoft client from the Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id1295203466

Important: For security reasons, companies often block a remote desktop connection on business devices and in the company network. It is recommended to participate in the training on a private device and not on the company network. Alternatively, you can clarify in advance with the responsible IT department whether remote desktop connections are possible.
