Summary:-
There have been drastic changes in technology over the past decade or so. The technology landscape is now
shifting toward mobility, the Cloud, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Directly or indirectly, this technology
change also brings new security risks along. This has given rise to a high demand for Information Security
professionals across the globe. According to the few surveys available, the number of qualified Information
Security professionals is far less than the actual demand.
Securing assets from a variety of threats is an interesting and equally rewarding job. There several
training programs and certifications that will get you started with your career in Information Security.
One such popular certification is Certified Ethical Hacker from the EC-Council. This certification is quite
comprehensive and intensive, covering various aspects of ethical hacking. The best thing is that it doesn’t
need any prequalification. Anyone with a keen interest in hacking and security can opt for this certification.
Because the course syllabus is vast, however, it can take a lot of effort to grasp all the concepts. This book is
essentially a foundation guide that covers not only the basics of hacking but also other basic prerequisites
that will help you understand the core topics in a better way. Going through this book before you take the
CEH course and certification will ease the process of absorbing knowledge during the course. An appendix
describing various Information Security career paths and another on interview preparation have also been
included to guide the reader after successful completion of CEH certification. I wish all readers the very best
for their career endeavors and hope you find this book to be valuable.
