Penetration Testing

Penetration Testing, also known as ethical hacking, is a practice of testing a computer system, network, or application to find security vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. Coursera's Penetration Testing catalogue equips you with the knowledge to identify, analyze, and address potential weaknesses in cybersecurity infrastructure. You'll learn about the leading methodologies and best practices in penetration testing, including network scanning, vulnerability scanning, system hacking, web application hacking, and social engineering. You'll also master the art of documenting, reporting, and providing recommendations to mitigate risks. As a learner, you'll gain hands-on experience in using various penetration testing tools and technologies, strengthening your cybersecurity skills and readiness for a career in cybersecurity.
