EC-Council News : Advanced Security Training First Look !
Information technology continues to rapidly evolve and as the dependence on Internet technology increases, so are the risks to information systems. As such, information security professionals are required to stay up-to-date on the latest security technologies, threats and remediation strategies.
EC-Council's Center of Advanced Security Training (CAST) was created to address the need for highly technical and advanced security training for information security professionals.
CAST First Look Training Series
As part of the launch of CAST, we are pleased to present a First Look training series that will give an insight into the following programs, where we invite the authors of the respective courses to conduct a "LIVE" online training on a selected module from the program.
Advanced Penetration Testing (CAST 611)
A highly technical and intensive course that focuses attacking and defending highly secured environments. These environments simulate those found in government agencies and large corporations. In APT, you will be learning how to attack new operating systems such as Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and the latest Linux servers, all patched, and hardened. Both Network and Host-based Intrusion Detection/Preventions systems (IDS/IPS) will be in place as well. Read more.
