Certified SOC Analyst Programme

The main goal of the Certified SOC Analyst Program is to find weaknesses that can be used by hackers in networks, systems, servers, and network devices (like routers and switches) before they are found and used by hackers.

Within this course, you will learn about real-life ways that hackers can break into systems and networks in order to get to private data without permission or even take over systems for bad or non-business reasons.

When professionals do in-network penetration testing, they get information from the network connections that software has with the outside world.

Network interfaces, user interfaces, application programming interfaces (APIs), and any other input places that are easy to hack are all included.
