Cyber attacks can cause a significant setback for any organisation operating in the cyberspace. Cyber attackers or hackers are always trying to gain and retain access to crucial/sensitive resources of organisations through cyber attacks such as Ransomeware, Phishing, Man-in-the-middle, Denial-of-service, Zero-day exploit, etc.

Ethical Hacking is one of the popular approaches to combat cyber attacks by minimising possible vulnerabilities in an organisation’s infrastructure. It is a process of discovering vulnerabilities present in the applications, systems, policies, infrastructure, etc., with the due permission of the concerned authorities. Ethical hackers follow all the similar steps that a hacker follows but lawfully.

Given the ever-increasing attack surface, the demand for Ethical Hackers is surging exponentially across sectors. The objective of this certificate course is to enable and develop talent that can facilitate and maintain a cyber-safe environment that is resilient against cyber attacks.

With a view to address the significant and urgent demand for talented people with expertise in Ethical Hacking and Cyber Security, the Institute announces a Certificate Course in Ethical Hacking. It is a unique course designed to provide the basic concepts of Ethical Hacking to a pool of talented UG/PG-level students and make them explore and delve into this very interesting area.
