GlobalNet Training’s Certified Security Analyst (ECSA) / Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT) combined 6-day Boot Camp certifies individuals in the specific network security discipline of Security Analysis and Penetration Testing.
Certified Security Analyst (ECSA)
ECSA is a security class like no other! Providing real world hands-on experience, it is the only in-depth Advanced Hacking and Penetration Testing class available that covers testing in all modern infrastructures, operating systems and application environments.
EC-Council’s Certified Security Analyst (ECSA) program is a highly interactive security class designed to teach Security Professionals the advanced uses of the available methodologies, tools and techniques required to perform comprehensive information security tests. Students will learn how to design, secure and test networks to protect your organization from the threats hackers and crackers pose. By teaching the tools and groundbreaking techniques for security and penetration testing, this class will help you perform the intensive assessments required to effectively identify and mitigate risks to the security of your infrastructure. As students learn to identify security problems, they also learn how to avoid and eliminate them, with the class providing complete coverage of hacking and network security-testing topics.
ECSA complements the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification by exploring the analytical phase of ethical hacking. While CEH exposes the learner to hacking tools and technologies, ECSA takes it a step further by exploring how to analyze the outcome from these tools and technologies. Through groundbreaking penetration testing methods and techniques, the ECSA class helps students perform the intensive assessments required to effectively identify and mitigate risks to the security of the infrastructure. The objective of ECSA is to add value to experienced security professionals by helping them analyze the outcomes of their tests. ECSA leads the learner into the advanced stages of ethical hacking. This makes ECSA a relevant milestone towards achieving EC-Council’s Licensed Penetration Tester, which also ingrains the learner in the business aspect of penetration testing. The Licensed Penetration Tester standardizes the knowledge base for penetration testing professionals by incorporating the best practices followed by experienced experts in the field.
Benefits
- ECSA is for experienced hands in the industry and is backed by a curriculum designed by the best in the field.
- Greater industry acceptance as a seasoned security professional.
- Learn to analyze the outcomes from using security tools and security testing techniques.
EC-Council's Licensed Penetration Tester
“The Most Prestigious Certification for Penetration Testing Professionals.”
EC-Council’s Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT) is a natural evolution and extended value addition to its series of security related professional certifications. LPT standardizes the knowledge base for penetration testing professionals by incorporating the best practices followed by experienced experts in the field.
The objective of a LPT is to ensure that each professional licensed by EC-Council follows a strict code of ethics, is exposed to the best practices in the domain of penetration testing and is aware of all compliance requirements required by the industry.
Unlike a normal security certification, the Licensed Penetration Tester is a program that trains security professionals to analyze the security posture of a network exhaustively and to recommend corrective measures authoritatively. EC-Council's license vouches for their professionalism and expertise thereby making these professionals more sought-after by organizations and consulting firms globally.
LPT is a professional certification that is used to measure penetration testing skills. A candidate can initiate training to become a Licensed Penetration Tester by attending EC-Council’s CEH training program. All of the LPT courses come with high-quality supporting materials, aids and resources.
LPT Certification was designed to recognize mastery of an international standard for penetration testing and understanding of a Common Body of Knowledge. Certification can enhance a professional’s career and provide added IS credibility and is ideal for anyone who is involved with penetration testing in the organization - System administrators, IT managers, IT Auditors, database professionals, etc.
Benefits
- EC-Council's endorsement as a licensed penetration testing professional allows them to practice as a penetration testing consultant internationally.
- Industry acceptance as a legal and ethical security professional
- Access to proprietary EC-Council software, templates and penetration testing methodologies.
- License to practice and conduct security testing in organizations accredited by EC-Council.
