Learners will become proficient in the art of scoping, executing, and reporting on vulnerability assessments, while recommending mitigation strategies. By using an engaging gamified narrative throughout the course, with real-world inspired hands-on practice labs, learners develop essential workforce readiness skills to lay a solid foundation in offensive security.
