Denial of Service DOS & Distributed Denial of Service DDOS (E)

• IT security professionals, network administrators, and cybersecurity analysts
• System administrators responsible for maintaining network availability and resilience
• Incident response teams tasked with identifying and mitigating cyber threats
• Ethical hackers and penetration testers seeking to understand and simulate DoS/DDoS attacks
• Anyone interested in learning about cyber threats and defending against DoS/DDoS attacks

At the end of the Course, there will be an online assessment, which you will need to pass to complete the course. Answers are marked instantly and automatically, allowing you to know straight away whether you have passed. If you haven’t, there’s no limit on the number of times you can take the final exam. All this is included in the one-time fee you paid for the course itself.

Once you’ve successfully completed your course, you will immediately be sent a digital certificate. The certificate has no expiry dates, although we do recommend that you renew it every 12 months.
