SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Simplilearn, a
global digital skills training provider, announced its partnership with the
University of California, Irvine Division of Continuing Education (UCI DCE) for
a Cybersecurity boot camp. The boot camp will provide
expertise on offensive and defensive enterprise cybersecurity and give
information on malware analysis, ethical hacking, securing applications, and
the like. The cybersecurity boot camp is best suited for aspiring security
analysts, network consultants, penetration testers, and aspirants for other
related roles. To apply for the program, the learner should be at least 18
years and have a high school diploma or equivalent. Work experience is
preferable but not mandatory; likewise, prior knowledge of programming is not
required to apply for the boot camp.
This comprehensive program focuses on topics such as Web Application
Penetration Testing, Application Security, Ethical Hacking, Threat Hunting,
Malware and Ransomware Analysis, Cryptography, and Infrastructure Security.
Learners will have the opportunity to interact with industry experts. They will
receive masterclasses from UCI DCE instructors, six months of applied learning
consisting of 10+ hands-on projects and 35+ demonstrations on integrated labs,
access to cybersecurity labs, and more than 30 continuing education units
(CEUs) from UCI DCE to demonstrate a commitment to ongoing learning and keep
avenues to future opportunities open.
Ransomware and Malware Analysis teaches learners to detect, analyze and
protect businesses from ransomware attacks. Ethical Hacking and VAPT provides
hands-on training to master the techniques hackers use to penetrate network
systems and understand the finer nuances of advanced hacking concepts,
penetration testing and vulnerability assessment. The cybersecurity boot camp
capstone project gives learners an opportunity to implement the skills learned
in the boot camp. It will teach problem-solving for real-world industry
challenges and enable learners to showcase their expertise to prospective
employers.
Speaking on the program, Mr. Anand Narayanan,
Chief Product Officer, Simplilearn, said, “The rapid expansion of
technology has made us more vulnerable to cyber-attacks, and the need for
security online has increased multi-fold. Cybersecurity helps businesses
protect information from unpleasant data breach incidents. To have a
multi-layered level of protection, companies must understand the importance of
cybersecurity; today, most organizations are focused on tightening their online
security. With the relevance of this skill in mind, we are happy to partner
with the University of California, Irvine Division of
Continuing Education for the Cybersecurity boot camp. This partnership will
help learners grasp the concepts and skills required to protect businesses from
cyber-attacks.”
Speaking on the partnership, Ms. Julie Pai,
Assistant Director of Technology Programs, UCI DCE, said, “Organizations,
irrespective of size and capacity, face the threat of cyber-attacks. With
technological advancements happening at a rapid pace, the challenges of such
instances are inevitable. The monetary impact of data breaches aside, the
effect of these attacks on the brand and the business is of significant
concern. We are happy to partner with Simplilearn to address this skill
requirement and co-deliver the professional program on Cybersecurity. We are
confident that the knowledge provided through this boot camp will significantly
boost the learners’ careers.”
The boot camp will start with an orientation session, followed by a module
on Enterprise Infrastructure Security that will enable the learners to gain
knowledge and skills in a series of advanced and current concepts in
cybersecurity. The Application and Web Application Security module will help
learners understand the skills of OWASP tools and methodologies, clickjacking,
black box, fuzzing, symmetric/asymmetric cryptography, hashing, digital
signatures, patch management and much more.
