Dark Web Courses

The profound changes in our lifestyle due to COVID-19 social distancing have required us to take more deliberate actions to learn new skills. Keeping up to date today is specifically important for defenders that are confronted with cybercriminals that are seeking to exploit the Corona crisis. In the past month alone, there has been a 738% increase in the number of COVID-19-related terms on dark web sources. While research shows that there is unexpected solidarity in criminal platforms with users urging other users not to exploit the current situation; some cybercriminals will find ways to take advantage in the wake of major disasters and emergencies. In addition to this, limitations to public life will make criminal activities less visible and displace them to online settings. We’ve seen targeted ransomware attacks on hospitals and research organizations running clinical trials, providers of counterfeit surgical masks, Darkweb users asking advice how to exploit the corona virus, attacks on remote workers and hackers offering selling Zoom exploits on the dark web for up to $30,000….and these are just the tip of the iceberg…

SECO Institute, together with its partner iLEARN - Innovative Learning, have joined forces to deliver the Darkweb Training. Online and against a significant discount, lowering the barriers for cyber defenders to join. 

WHAT DARK WEB IS?

The Dark Web is a section of the internet, which is not accessed with a regular browser. Connections are often encrypted and anonymised and criminal activity has flourished in this space. As a result, it has become increasingly important for IT professionals within corporations and those involved in public sector investigations to have the skills and knowledge to securely monitor the Dark Web.

BENEFITS OF DARK WEB FOUNDATION CERTIFICATION

If you are an IT or information security professional, demonstrating that you can navigate the Dark Web securely is an excellent way to further advance your career. In today’s information security, proactively monitoring the Dark Web for potential vulnerabilities and new exploits is an essential defensive tool. In addition to this, darkweb monitoring is increasingly used to investigate an organization’s digital footprint and risk exposure. As the Dark Web grows, there will be an increasing need for skilled and qualified professionals who can use it for threat anticipation and prevention. For police officers and law enforcement personnel, Dark Web skills have become essential in the 21st century. As the Dark Web’s user base expands, law enforcement will increasingly invest in staffing and training to combat criminal cyber activity.
