Postgraduate certificate Pentesting Team Management

The management of pentesting teams is a fundamental aspect for institutions. The reason is that it allows to make the most of the available human and technological resources, performing penetration tests. Companies are therefore increasingly demanding the incorporation of cybersecurity experts to identify and resolve problems in an optimal manner. Faced with the rise of computer hacking, these professionals must regularly update their knowledge and apply the latest tools in order to prevent computer attacks. For this reason, TECH is launching an innovative program for students to implement the most cutting-edge pentestingtactics. In addition, this program is based on a 100% online modality, guaranteeing the comfort and flexibility of the students.

Introduction to the Program

It features the most powerful arsenal of offensive auditing through 150 hours of the best digital teaching”

Thanks to audits conducted by experts in equipment management, entities are aware of their potential obstacles, risks and problems before it is too late. In this sense, pentesters facilitate communication between team members, allowing them to share their knowledge and information. In addition, resources are monitored and control strategies are applied to achieve the objectives set by the organizations (both in the short and long term).

Aware of this reality, TECH has developed a pioneering training program ranging from vulnerability analysis to advanced intrusion techniques. The syllabus will delve into a series of methodologies oriented to offensive security, among which the Cyber Security Kill Chain stands out. In addition, it will encourage creativity through the think outside the box technique and promote innovative solutions to differentiate themselves from the rest. They will also explore the different roles of pentestings, emphasizing the need for in-depth investigations. In turn, they will delve into the Metasploit tool, with the aim of performing simulated attacks in a controlled manner. Finally, the main challenges that affect offensive security will be presented and the graduates will be encouraged to turn them into opportunities to demonstrate their full potential and ingenuity.

It should be noted that, in order to consolidate the mastery of the contents, this training applies the state-of-the-art Relearningsystem. TECH is a pioneer in the use of this teaching model, which promotes the assimilation of complex concepts through their natural and progressive reiteration. In this line, the program also uses materials in various formats such as infographics, interactive summaries or explanatory videos. All this in a convenient 100% online mode, which allows students to adjust their schedules according to their responsibilities and personal circumstances.

Syllabus

This syllabus is approached from a theoretical-practical perspective, with an experienced teaching staff that immerses students in the analysis of the most effective offensive security strategies. In order to acquire a comprehensive understanding of how malicious actors operate, the categorization of vulnerabilities (CAPEC, CVSS, etc.) is explored in depth. In addition, emphasis is placed on the use of scripting with the goal of executing scripts that automate tasks on a computer system, including JavaScript. The principles of hacker ethics are also addressed in order to understand the legal implications and consequences that can be generated during the activities. To achieve this, real case studies where cybersecurity ethics have been applied are analyzed.

No pre-established schedules or evaluation timelines: that's what this TECH program is all about"
