Why this program matters

  • Without advanced security testing mastery, 85% of breaches exploit known un-audited vulnerabilities, costing an average of 4,5 millions € per incident according to IBM.

  • Companies that skip expert pentests lose 60% of time on reactive remediation and suffer 3x more ransomware attacks.

  • In 2024, 70% of CISOs without zero-day skills are dismissed over critical breaches.

  • Every quarter without training widens a fatal security gap against increasingly sophisticated cybercriminals, threatening business survival.

Program

Security Testing curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Reconnaissance: Advanced Security Testing Techniques (OSINT, Nmap, Shodan)

Immersion in passive and active enumeration methods to identify target assets, use of OSINT tools like Maltego and Recon-ng to map digital footprints, customized scans with Nmap scripting engine and Masscan to detect vulnerable services, exercises on real company cases with result analysis, production of a preliminary reconnaissance report exploiting public and private data to simulate a sophisticated attack.

Module 2 : Web Vulnerabilities: Application Security Testing (Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP)

Practical exploitation of advanced OWASP Top 10 flaws such as SSRF, IDOR, and insecure deserialization, configuration of Burp Suite Pro to intercept and modify HTTP/S traffic, automation of scans with OWASP ZAP and Nuclei to detect recent CVEs, manual tests on DVWA and Juice Shop applications with custom payloads, development of Python scripts for targeted fuzzing, generation of proof-of-concept exploits to demonstrate business impact in a professional context.

Module 3 : Network Testing: Infrastructure Security Testing (Metasploit, RouterSploit)

Targeted attacks on network protocols such as SMB, RDP, and SNMP using EternalBlue and advanced Metasploit modules, use of RouterSploit for router and IoT pentesting, vulnerability scans with Nessus and OpenVAS integrated into CI/CD workflows, lateral pivoting exercises via SSH and Socks tunnels, simulation of attacks in a VMware lab with Windows/Linux machines, development of quantified risk metrics to prioritize enterprise fixes.

Module 4 : Post-Exploitation: Privilege Escalation Chains in Security Testing (Cobalt Strike, PowerShell)

Deployment of persistent beacons with Cobalt Strike to maintain access, privilege escalation techniques via kernel exploits and Active Directory misconfigurations, PowerShell Empire scripting for lateral movement and credential dumping, simulated data exfiltration using DNS tunneling, practical cases on complex AD environments, creation of custom evasive payloads against EDRs, analysis of traces for stealth and covering tracks in professional audits.

Module 5 : Reporting and Remediation: Security Testing Synthesis (Dradis, CVSS Templates)

Security Testing training: access and practical arrangements

The Training Security Testing - Auditing Critical Vulnerabilities in the Enterprise program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training Security Testing - Auditing Critical Vulnerabilities in the Enterprise program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

* contact us for remote delivery feasibility** ratio varies depending on the program

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training Security Testing - Auditing Critical Vulnerabilities in the Enterprise program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Security Testing training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.

How long does Security Testing training take?+
5 days, available live online (US time zones) or on-site at your offices. Half-day tracks spread over several weeks are possible so the team stays operational.
Who pays for Security Testing training?+
Most US teams pay directly through their company L&D or training budget. Learni invoices in US dollars and accepts bank transfer (ACH/wire) or card, with volume pricing for teams. A purchase order is welcome.
What do participants need to know before Security Testing training?+
Mastery of basic pentesting, Kali Linux, Python/Bash scripting, advanced TCP/IP networks.
Is a certificate issued after Security Testing training?+
Yes. A Learni completion certificate is issued, along with the individual evaluation report. Learni is a certified training provider and prepares for third-party certifications, but does not award them itself.
