Learn how Ethical Hackers think. Cisco’s new Certificate in Ethical Hacking is designed to teach just that, combining offensive security techniques with immersive Capture the Flag challenges that help learners validate their knowledge in real-world scenarios. In this episode, Jozef Janitor, Product Manager with Cisco Networking Academy, joins Business Architecture Manager Garet Marling and Cisco U. Product Manager Kate Dignan to discuss the Ethical Hacker program with Cisco Learning Network Community Manager Tanner Swift. Together, they break down how this certificate fits into a learner’s cybersecurity journey, what to expect from Cisco U., and how hands-on challenges like Capture the Flag: Operation SMB Exploit can help prepare you for a career in offensive security. • Cisco Certificate in Ethical Hacking: https://www.netacad.com/courses/ethical-hacker?courseLang=en-US • Capture the Flag: Operation SMB Exploit: https://u.cisco.com/challenges/capture-flag-operation-smb-exploit-26593 • Cisco Learning Network: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/certification/ethical-hacker
