Course Description
Ethical hacking is used by few and feared by many yet can be one of the most beneficial tools any organization can have in the quest for information security. In this seminar, noted information security consultant and author Kevin Beaver will cover the essentials needed for finding the security vulnerabilities that really matter. Starting out, Kevin will outline the technical and operational security weaknesses he’s seeing in the field. He’ll discuss the issues that are easily-exploited and the ones we shouldn’t be wasting our time on as well ones that are often overlooked. He’ll then share the essential elements of a successful ethical hacking program and show how the techniques can be incorporated into the security auditing process in order to increase the value of higher-level audits. Finally, Kevin will introduce and demonstrate some neat, useful, and otherwise must-have security testing tools that will help take the pain out of the security testing process and ensure you get the highest payoff for your efforts.
