Description

LAST UPDATED: 11/2024

Windows 8 is an operating system which introduced many changes compared to the previous versions. The differences are not only in the appearance of your colorful desktop and icons, but also a lot of new security solutions. 

Does your computer actually belong to you? Are you sure that there's no suspicious traffic in your network? Hackers attack using automated techniques at the same time, hundreds of thousands of computers, often for fun and "blindly". 

Most Windows users do not use the built-in security mechanisms, which are provided by the system itself. For this reason, the client's machines often become "zombies" that remotely (and without the user's knowledge), are used by hackers. Meanwhile, the correct configuration can prevent the majority of currently used attacks.

Windows 8: Hacking & Securing is recommended to people who benefit from this system either for personal or professional purposes. After the training, you will be able to effectively protect your system from most threats.
