Certificate in Penetration Testing | Crack the Code: Live Ethical Hacking Hackathon + Info Session
November 12 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST

Are you ready to see how ethical hackers really work? Join us for a live, hands-on Hackathon led by Piyush Verma, ethical hacker and instructor at York University’s School of Continuing Studies.
Watch in real time as Piyush performs a real-world penetration test on the TryHackMe platform, exposing vulnerabilities, breaching systems (legally!), and testing defences like cybersecurity professionals do daily.
Program Manager Marina De Bona will also introduce York’s new Part-Time Certificate in Penetration Testing and explain how the program trains you to think like an attacker and defend like a pro.
In this session, you’ll:
- Experience a live ethical hacking demo using real tools and techniques
- Join a Q&A with Piyush and Marina about the field and program
- Learn about program structure, outcomes, and career pathways
Bonus: Attendees will receive a one-time discount on program enrollment — your access code to a career in cyber security.
