EC-Council – Cybersecurity Attack and Defense Course
EC-Council – Cybersecurity Attack and Defense Course is an immersive, hands-on training program designed to teach learners how cyberattacks are executed and how to defend against them using industry-standard tools, techniques, and methodologies. This course bridges offensive and defensive security, giving you a balanced understanding of how attackers think, how systems are compromised, and how to build resilient defenses to counter modern threats.
Through guided labs, real-world simulations, and structured lessons, you’ll explore reconnaissance, exploitation, malware behavior, security monitoring, threat detection, incident response, and defensive engineering. This dual-perspective approach makes the course ideal for professionals looking to move into ethical hacking, SOC operations, or defensive cybersecurity roles.
