Ethical Hacking/Pen Testing Training

Ethical Hacking courses are designed to teach the security professional the tools and techniques of his/her adversary, using the philosophy "it takes a thief to catch a thief"  Once again this page is aimed at telling you in an unbiased way what is out there, not how good the courses are.  They don't come cheap, before choosing one research it well. If you have sufficient buying power use it to gain a free evaluation course before committing to spending a lot of money.

Please note that this portal identifies all information security courses that are available globally, we do not conduct the training ourselves, though do resell some of the courses from our preferred suppliers.  Feel free to get in touch for advice or if you wish to nominate an instructor lead course that we have not listed - Thanks



 

Ethical Hacking / Network Intrusion & Penetration Techniques

Internet Security Systems, Inc

http://www.iss.net/education/course_descriptions/security_courses/ethicalhacking.php

Internet Security Systems' Ethical Hacking course provides a structured methodology for detailing the techniques used by crackers to assess and attack corporate networks. The course employs a network laboratory to simulate a corporate Internet site, enabling practical demonstrations of assessment techniques and the security exploits that can badly damage the organisation's vital IT infrastructure. Highlighting information leakage that can take place even within a seemingly secure environment, the course provides valuable insight into how hackers circumvent and defeat security controls in networked environments, applications and operating systems.

Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures

Location UK

Net-Security Training

http://www.net-security-training.co.uk/courses/Ethical_Hacking.html

Hacking involves creativity and thinking 'out-of-the-box', then vulnerability testing and security audits will not ensure the security proofing of an organization. To ensure that organisations have adequately protected their information assets, they must adopt the approach of 'defence in depth'. In other words, they must penetrate their networks and assess the security posture for vulnerabilities and exposure.
