MY APPROACH TO LEARNING
“I focus on teaching practical skills that are essential and actively utilized by professionals in the field every day. My courses are highly practical but they don’t neglect the theory; I start with ensuring that students have a solid understanding of the fundamentals and the target system that we are trying to hack. Then we start hacking straight away! I teach everything through hands-on real-life examples and labs. No dry boring lectures.”

Reviews
 Shafique Ahmed  I did Global C|EH but I found this course by Zaid Sabih is more useful and full of latest stuff. I really like this course and looking forward to do more course by Zaid Sabih. Jash Merchant  The explanation is awesome , especially the notes and resources provided in between just makes everything easy to understand. Thanks a lot Sir Zaid. Phil Lutkovsky  This guy is just the best at this... I am a course hoarder so I know what I am talking about. He may not cover ALL topics in the world, that would make this course 500 hours long, but the things he DOES cover he covers in great detail. Hossain Md Zakir  Excellent course I have ever found online. Mr Zaid is very helpful and friendly Instructor. He made all the courses easy to understand for every level student. Thank you very much Mr Zaid for your best effort on online teaching. |

Salary: €35K - €60K. Information security analysts install and operate firewalls, data encryption programs, and other software, monitor their organization for security breaches, and even simulate attacks to look for vulnerabilities in their system.
Salary: €40K - €50K. An ethical hacker, also known as a 'white hat hacker', is employed to legally break into computers and networks to test an organization's overall security. Ethical hackers possess all the skills of a cyber criminal but use their knowledge to improve organizations rather than exploit and damage them.
Salary: €50K - €68K. Pen testers use tools to examine the target website or system for weaknesses, including open services, application security issues, and open source vulnerabilities. Pen testers simulate cyberattacks on a computer system to evaluate the security of the system.
Salary: €46K - €65K. A security consultant, also sometimes called a security analyst, pinpoints vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, and software programs and works toward solutions to strengthen them against hackers. This consultant role is a strong example of a highly specialized IT occupation.
