Frequently Asked Questions

  • The combination of traditional and agile methods provides a broad foundation for taking on initial tasks in projects and collaborating in various project environments.
  • The training program combines several internationally recognized certifications in the fields of operating systems, IT security, penetration testing, and ethical hacking.
  • Ethical hackers use the methods and tools of real attackers exclusively within an authorized and controlled environment to test the security of systems.
  • Penetration tests help companies identify security vulnerabilities early on and minimize risks before actual attacks occur.
  • Many security tools and testing environments are based on Linux systems. Knowledge of Linux is therefore one of the key fundamentals in the field of offensive security.
  • The Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification is one of the world's most recognized credentials in the field of ethical hacking and penetration testing.
  • In addition to theoretical knowledge, cybersecurity requires, above all, practical experience in dealing with attack techniques, analysis tools, and security mechanisms.
  • Cloud platforms, AI applications, container technologies, and hybrid IT infrastructures are constantly changing the requirements for security audits and penetration tests.
