Introduction
The Nexusguard Certified Pentester course is not your traditional ethical hacking training program. Lessons range from in country laws and regulations showcasing the importance of VAPT (vulnerability assessment penetration testing) towards driving compliance. Build your own infosec team and strategically position VAPT as part of your Red Team initiatives. Review your gaps by assessing your own security controls to actual hands on by penetrating into systems using our virtual labs. Determine your organization’s future state by participating in workshops about threat modeling and maturity models. Test all those learnings in cyber drills simulating crisis situations.
The course is designed by Nexusguard practitioners who have years of experience in understanding the loopholes of organizations and exposing the gaps that need to be remediated to avoid a compromise.
This Pentester course is conducted in Blended Learning mode. The first 2 weeks of training is done in asynchronous mode where participants will self-learn using materials and pre-recorded videos hosted in NTU Learning Management System (NTULearn). Besides doing hands-on exercises using web application tools, they are required to submit a report at the end of the course. During the self-learning stage, participants can engage trainer directly in group or individual to enhance their learning experience. The final stage of training consisted of 5 days online 'live' lecture and culminating in the Capture The Flag (CTF) challenge.
Participants will be awarded Nexusguard Certified Pentester (NCP) certification when they pass each mandatory online test. NCP is recognised internationally by well-known accreditation bodies.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to put to use their newly found skills and knowledge in the field of VAPT.
Below is the course syllabus which breaks down the topics to be conducted during the duration of the training program. The delivery method is done on both face-to-face and online methods.
