Why is Cyber Security and Ethical Hacking important?
Cybersecurity as well as ethical hacking serve the purpose of safeguarding against
cyber threats, thereby ensuring the protection of data privacy and the integrity of
systems. These measures play a crucial role in preventing financial losses, securing
both personal and organizational information, and maintaining compliance with
regulations. Furthermore, ethical hacking serves to proactively identify vulnerabilities,
thereby strengthening defensive mechanisms. These practices are indispensable for
instilling trust in digital interactions, while also safeguarding national security and
facilitating the secure adoption of emerging technologies. Given the nature of our
digital era, these practices are fundamental to maintain economic stability and
fostering technological innovation.

Equipped with data, organizations are using Cyber Security to:

Protect sensitive info and ensuring

Minimize losses and preventing harm
confidentiality

Safeguard valuable IP assets Meet obligations and ensuring legality

Minimize disruptions and ensuring resilience Build trust and preserving brand image
According to Statista, the cyber security market is poised to achieve a valuation of $183.10 billion by 2024 and estimated to grow at a
CAGR of 10.56% between 2024 to 2028, culminating in a total market volume of $273.60 billion. This upward trajectory is primarily driven
by the rise in cyber-attacks, which can be attributed to the widespread adoption of e-commerce, smart devices, cloud computing, and the
Internet of Things (IoT). Consequently, organizations are increasingly allocating resources towards sophisticated cybersecurity measures
in order to mitigate the risk of cyber threats in a dynamic and rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.

Capstone Project #1: Testing Trending Vulnerabilities on Enterprise Frameworks

Problem Statement: Cybersecurity professionals need a way to learn about and test for the latest trending vulnerabilities
and exploits on the frameworks used in an enterprise. This box contains multiple vulnerable application frameworks that
can be exploited to cause significant damage.

Capstone Project#2: Explore Vulnerabilities for an E-Commerce Website

Problem Statement: This project simulates a real-life e-commerce website with over 90 known vulnerabilities. The system is
intentionally running an outdated operating system that is known to be vulnerable to exploits, in order to provide a
realistic testing environment.

Capstone Project#3: Maximum Vulnerability Impact on Unupdated Systems

Problem Statement: This box contains applications with secure functions and features that are as realistic as possible.
However, it is designed to showcase the possibilities of exploiting a machine that is not updated. This may require chaining
multiple vulnerabilities to execute an exploit. This approach is designed to showcase the maximum potential impact of a
vulnerability and to provide a more realistic assessment of its security implications.
