The primary objective for a Certified SOC Analyst Programme is to identify exploitable vulnerabilities in networks, systems, hosts, and network devices like routers, switches) before hackers can discover and exploit them.
In this course, you will reveal real-world opportunities for hackers to be able to compromise systems and networks in such a way that allows for unauthorized access to sensitive data or even take-over systems for malicious/non-business purposes.
In-Network penetration testing, professionals harvest information from network interfaces that exist between software and the external environment.
This includes network interfaces, user interfaces, application programming interfaces (APIs), and any other input points that are a prime target for exploits.
