CERTIFIED SECURITY ANALYST (ECSA)

CERTIFIED SECURITY ANALYST (ECSA)

OVERVIEW 
What you will learn
If you are already a certified hacker who can write custom hacking code and have a plethora of hacking tools at your fingertips, then why not take your skills to the next level with the Certified Security Analyst program. Continue where the Certified Ethical Hacker course left off and enhance your ability into full exploitation by utilising EC-Council’s published penetration testing methodology.

The ECSA course is a fully hands-on program with labs and exercises that cover real world scenarios. By practicing the skills provided to you in the ECSA class, you will gain the skillset needed to uncover the security threats that organisations are vulnerable to. This security credential is like no other, it will take you beyond the generic kill chain methodology. The ECSA presents a set of distinguishable comprehensive methodologies that cover different penetration testing requirements across different verticals.

The Certified Security Analyst certification will provide the necessary knowledge to do the following:

• Test Modern Infrastructures
• Test Operating Systems
• Document and Write a Penetration Testing Report
• Test Application Environments

This certification is held in high regard as finding vulnerabilities and ensuring that they are addressed appropriately can substantially strengthen the networks and systems of any organisation. Given the frequency with which businesses and individuals are attacked, this is not something to be taken lightly and prevention of such attacks are always better than trying to recover from one, as the damage that has been done can very often be irreparable.
