While the Certified Ethical Hacker certification exposes the learner to hacking tools and technologies, the Certified Security Analyst course takes the process a step further by exploring how to analyze the outcome from these tools and technologies. This ECSA penetration testing course provides you with a real-world hands-on penetration testing experience and is a globally accepted hacking and penetration testing class that covers the testing of modern infrastructures, operating systems and application environments while teaching the students how to document and write a penetration testing report. This is accomplished through groundbreaking network penetration testing methods and techniques; this pen testing computer security certification helps students perform the intensive assessments required to effectively identify and mitigate risks to the information security of the infrastructure.
The EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (ECSA) course prepares you for the EC-Council Security Analyst v10 (ECSA) Exam. The ECSA exam aims to test a candidate’s knowledge and application of critical penetration testing methodologies. Candidates that successfully pass the multiple-choice exam (ECSAv10 Multiple Choice Certification Exam) will be awarded the ECSA credential.
