Network testing Monitoring and Detection
RCCE students will learn network penetration testing methodologies including external and internal network testing, port scanning, service enumeration, vulnerability exploitation, lateral movement, and privilege escalation in network environments. RCCE students will learn to plan and scope network penetration tests, conduct host discovery and service enumeration, identify and exploit network service vulnerabilities, perform credential attacks against network authentication services, demonstrate lateral movement through network environments, escalate privileges to domain administrator access, document network test findings, and provide remediation guidance prioritized by business risk. This monitoring course teaches comprehensive detection and observability strategies for proactive security operations. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to instrument systems for security telemetry, build detection pipelines, configure alerting, and maintain monitoring coverage as environments evolve. Students gain the visibility and detection capabilities needed to catch threats early.
