Participants' feedback:

I attended the Ethical Hacker course organized by Housing with the intention of gaining knowledge in security auditing of information systems, a better understanding of current cyber threats, and timely and accurate identification of these threats. The course fully justified all my expectations. In addition to acquiring a theoretical foundation that enables further knowledge enhancement in the field of information system security, we also practically worked on all presented examples of information threats.

All the knowledge and information gained are of significant added value for the work of a bank security engineer and not only facilitate a better understanding of cyber threats but also enable the actual identification of system security vulnerabilities.

The course is primarily designed for professionals in the field of information security, whose purpose is not only to be familiar with legislation and the formulation of security policies but also to actively discover security vulnerabilities and understand how these vulnerabilities are exploited using recognized hacker methods.

My impression of the course is positive. Knowledge becomes obsolete quickly nowadays, and especially in this field, it is necessary to refresh it frequently. Through the course, I gained insight into what we should pay attention to when ensuring the basic level of information system security in organizations. We were shown how malicious hackers attempt to infiltrate our systems and the methods they employ in doing so. I would recommend the course to system administrators, security engineers, and IT department managers.
