HBN - Bootcamp Edition
(3-day course: Network Security Enforcement - intermediary techniques)
 

Overview

 

"Bootcamp" is an introduction course on the way to protect your company against hackers. It is strongly method-based and emphasizes structure, approach and thinking over tools and tricks. The course is popular with beginners, who gain their first view into the world of hacking, and experts, who appreciate the sound, structured approach.

This course is the "How did they do that?" of modern hacking attacks. From start to finish we will lead you through the full compromise of a company's IT systems, explaining the tools and technologies, but especially the thinking, strategies and the methodologies for every step along the way. "Hacking By Numbers – Bootcamp Edition" will give you a complete and practical window into the methods and thinking of hackers.

What you will learn

This course will teach you by means of real examples, solid theory and hands-on exercises how a hacker would proceed to break into your network. Armed with this knowledge you can test and ensure that your systems are secure against these kinds of threats and attacks. Delegates will perform all hands on exercises using pre-configured laptops and will gain practical experience with the tools and utilities that are used everyday by industry analysts and underground specialists in the field. If you’re active in IT security, this course will open up a whole new world for you. See and understand for the first time how attacks really work, see for yourself how an attacker operates and understand the impact your defenses will have on his success.

Who should attend

Information security officers, system and network administrators, security consultants, and those active in the IT security field will all benefit from the valuable insights provided by this class. Remember that this course is practical and of an extremely technical nature, so a basic understanding of networking, security, Unix™ and Windows™ is a course prerequisite.

Benefits

This course is aimed at security entry level attendees. We believe it reaches an untouched portion of the information security awareness effort.  The course is presented by highly skilled and highly experienced professionals who understand not only security, but also risk and business management. The course is fun, with real life demonstrations and relevant, timely content.
