ECSA Practical

Course Description

ECSA (Practical) is a 12-hour, rigorous practical exam built to test your penetration testing skills. The candidates are required to demonstrate the applications of penetration testing methodology that is taught in the ECSA program. The candidate is required to perform a comprehensive security audit of an organization, just like in the real world. You will start with challenges requiring you to perform advanced network scans beyond perimeter defences, leading to automated and manual vulnerability analysis, exploit selection, customization, launch, and post exploitation manoeuvres.

Key Outcomes
