About

Johns Hopkins Engineering's Introduction to Ethical Hacking certificate program teaches you how to uncover vulnerabilities, threats, and potential risks before attackers do—and how to protect systems with confidence. 

Visit programme website for more information

Overview

Across three expertly crafted courses, Johns Hopkins Engineering's  Introduction to Ethical Hacking certificate program you’ll study the entire offensive cyber life cycle and associated phases of operations, as well as real-world tactics, techniques, and procedures used by advanced persistent threats (APT’s) and cyber actors.  You’ll also learn approaches to detect attacks and implement mitigation solutions and defense-in-depth strategies that reduce the overall attack surface, risk-to-system and risk-to-mission outcomes.  

Every assignment mirrors real cyber-attack events, so the reports you build roll straight into information system doctrine. Completing the program earns you a Johns Hopkins Certificate of Achievement and seven CEUs, plus a portfolio that closes the experience gap and propels you toward roles such as SOC analyst, penetration tester, certified ethical hacker, vulnerability scanner, security engineer, or threat hunter—while offering employers immediate gains in dwell-time reduction and alert efficiency.
