Course Description
Information security plays a vital role in most of the organizations. Information security is a state of
affairs where information, information processing, and communication are protected against the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and information processing. In communications,
information security also covers trustworthy authentication of messages that cover identification of the
parties, verifying, and recording the approval and authorization of the information, non-alteration of
the data, and the non-repudiation of the communication or stored data.
Network security plays a vital role in most of the organizations. It is the process of preventing and
detecting the unauthorized use of your computer. It protects the networks and their services from the
unauthorized modification, destruction, or disclosure. Network security provides assurance that a network performs its critical functions correctly and there are no harmful side effects.
Computer forensics is the process of detecting hacking attacks and properly extracting evidence to
report the crime and conduct audits to prevent future attacks. Computer forensics is the application of
computer investigation and analysis techniques in the interests of determining potential legal evidence.
Evidence might be sought in a wide range of computer crime or misuse, including but not limited to
theft of trade secrets, theft of or destruction of intellectual property, and fraud. Computer forensics
enables the systematic and careful identification of evidence in computer related crime and abuse cases.
This course will benefit the students who are interested in learning fundamentals of information security, network security, and computer forensics.
The EC-Council Certified Security Specialist (ECSS) program is designed primarily for students of
academic institutions. It covers the fundamental basics of information security, computer forensics, and
network security.
The program will give a holistic overview of the key components of information security. Students,
who complete the ECSS program, will be equipped with the adequate foundation knowledge and
should be able to progress onto the next level.

EC-Council Certified Security Specialist (ECSS) allows students to enhance their skills in three different areas namely information security, network security, and computer forensics.
Who Should Attend

This course will significantly benefit individuals who are entering into the world of computer security.
ECSS is an entry level security program.
