Phase 3: Authentication & Authorization (5-7 Months)

During this phase, learners delve into the intricacies of user authentication and access control mechanisms.

They’ll explore technologies like multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure only authorized personnel can access sensitive resources.

Phase 6: Penetration Testing (11-13 Months)

This phase focuses on the methodology and practice of penetration testing, simulating real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities.

Learners will gain proficiency in using tools such as Metasploit and Burp Suite for vulnerability assessment and exploitation.
