Course Overview
The goal of the ethical hacker is to help the organization take preemptive measures against malicious attacks by attacking the system himself;
all the while staying within legal limits. This philosophy stems from the proven practice of trying to catch a thief, by thinking like a thief.
As technology advances and organization depend on technology increasingly, information assets have evolved into critical components of survival.
