About the course:
By helping you understand attackers’ tactics and strategies in detail, giving you hands-on experience in finding vulnerabilities and discovering intrusions, and equipping you with a comprehensive incident handling plan, the in-depth information in this course helps you turn the tables on computer attackers. This course addresses the latest cutting-edge insidious attack vectors and the “oldie-but-goodie” attacks that are still so prevalent, and everything in between. Instead of merely teaching a few hack attack tricks, this course includes a time-tested, step-by-step process for responding to computer incidents; a detailed description of how attackers undermine systems so you can prepare, detect, and respond to them; and a hands-on workshop for discovering holes before the bad guys do. Additionally, the course explores the legal issues associated with responding to computer attacks, including employee monitoring, working with law enforcement, and handling evidence.
Students study SANS Hacker Techniques, Exploits & Incident Handling course books at their own pace. Each week, students meet with SANS Local Mentor, who will lead class discussions, provide hands-on demonstrations, point out the most salient features, and answer questions. The Mentor’s goal is to help students grasp the more difficult material, master the exercises, and prepare them for GCIH certification.
This challenging course is particularly well suited to individuals who lead or are a part of an incident handling team. Furthermore, general security practitioners, system administrators, and security architects will benefit by understanding how to design, build, and operate their systems to prevent, detect, and respond to attacks.
These courses are great for folks who want SANS level training but don’t have the travel budget to go to a conference for a week. I’m very excited to bring something like this to my area…security training around here is slim pickins! Bowling Green is very centrally located and is only an hour from Nashville, TN, two hours from Louisville, KY, two hours from Lexington, KY, and two hours from Paducah, KY.
Also, I will be donating 20% of my teaching fee to the Rural Technology Fund, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which provides scholarships to high school students pursuing technical majors.
