White hacker: a defender
in a world of cyber threats
This is an information security professional who simulates attacks on
organizations' systems to proactively detect and close gaps in their defenses.
Why is the profession of a
“white” hacker so in demand?
Cyberattacks are
breaking records 01
According to Positive Technologies, their number is growing every quarter. At the same time, government agencies, finance and industry are required by law to improve data protection.

Therefore, the number of vacancies and demand for security specialists is increasing.
The market demands
cyber defenders 02
Hackers are attacking more frequently, and government regulators are tightening security requirements.

This creates ideal conditions for the profession to grow: companies are willing to pay to keep their systems invulnerable.
The future lies with
“ethical” hackers 03
Positive Technologies statistics confirm that cyberattacks are becoming more frequent.

Combined with government regulation (especially in banks and the public sector), this ensures that the demand for pentesters will only increase.

Course Reviews
Peter
The course exceeded all expectations! I've been looking for a structured course on hacking for a long time - and I finally found it! It perfectly combines theory and practice: from basic Python syntax to writing real scripts for scanning networks, parsing logs and testing vulnerabilities. I was especially impressed with the practical ones - they are as close to real-world tasks as possible. After the course I was even able to optimize processes at my current job. Thank you to the team for the quality content!
Pavel
If you want not just to “try” White Hacking, but to learn how to use Python for real tasks - this course is for you. There are a lot of case studies, troubleshooting and community support. Already after a month of training I received an offer from an IT company as a Junior Security Engineer. I definitely recommend it!
Maria
The course is amazing! The material is presented in a structured way: from the basics of Python to real examples of automating tasks in white hacking. I especially liked the modules on vulnerability analysis and creating scripts for security testing. I recommend it to anyone who wants to enter the field of cybersecurity!
Kostya
The course is useful, especially for beginners in Python and security. I learned a lot of useful tools such as log parsing, network scanning and automation of routine tasks. Overall - satisfied.
Alina
I liked the course! Perfect balance between Python and cybersecurity! I learned how to write scripts for port scanning, bruteforce (for training purposes, of course), traffic analysis and much more. The instructor gives clear explanations and helps to understand even in difficult moments. After the course I was able to automate some routine tasks at work. Definitely worth the money!
