TechNow has been involved in enterprise client server architectures since 1990. TechNow has delivered national and international implementations for Valero, Wholefoods, Quest, USAA, Golfsmith, AMD, Motorola, and many other fortune 1000 corporations,
TechNow's training program has followed the evolution of enterprise computing into virtualization and cloud computing. With a focus on security, TechNow can present the ramifications of many centralized strategies. All courses utilize enterprise instructors with experience and can discuss the detail of implementation and the integration into an existing infrastructure.
Working with the TechNow lab for the PA-215: Palo Alto Networks Firewall Essentials FastTrack course has been nothing less than a techie's idea of fun. When students come in we are immediatly configuring the Cisco 3750 switches for access ports, VLANS, and trunks. We then cable the switch to the Palo Alto Networks Firewall. Each student gets their own Palo Alto Firewall Pod of hardware and software. What we find as fun is the VLAN environment, with an array of virtual machines hosted on an ESXi server that can really exercise the abilities of the Palo Alto Firewall. The DMZ VLAN hosts virtual machines that support enterprise services and also potentialy vulnerable web services. The Trust VLAN has Windows and Linux clients. The UnTrust VLAN has Web services and a VM of Kali. The hardware Firewall is additionally connected to a Management VLAN. All those VLANs are trunked into an ESXi server where the student also has a VM-Series Palo Alto Networks Firewall for High Availability.
After configuring all the trunking, VLANs, and network interfaces we learn about the firewall and configure it for the lab environment. Using Metasploitable and Kali/Metasploit nefarious penetration attempts are executed. Using packet captures, custom APP-ID's and custom signatures are generated. Custom logging and reporting are created to similate and enterprise and assist the desired Incident Response. It is always fun in a training environment to learn all about the controls available in a product, even though specific controls may not be used in the operational environment. In the end we have a good understanding of the Palo Alto Networks Firewall.
Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (COASP) validates the competencies required for practitioners who need to demonstrate offensive AI security skills, emulating adversaries, validating defenses, and leading red-team/blue-team exercises to keep AI resilient, reliable, and auditable
The Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (COASP) equips you to identify and neutralize AI-specific threats before attackers do. And Bridges security, engineering, and data science so controls exist across the full AI life cycle.
Participants will gain hands-on experience to perform end-to-end adversarial testing and deliver defensive validation evidence including the ability to simulate adversarial AI kill chains, Harden AI architectures by secure system prompts, context windows, tool integrations, RAG pipelines, and agent memory, Conducting AI security assessments aligned to MITRE ATLAS, OWASP LLM/ML Top 10, NIST AI RMF, and DoD Test & Evaluation practices , This course covers how to build SOC-ready capabilities for AI-focused detection logic, incident playbooks, and forensic procedures , & how to execute prompt injection, adversarial prompting , Assess AI supply-chain risk , Implement defensive engineering controls and Produce assurance and compliance artifacts.
By the end of the course, learners will be well-prepared to take the Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (COASP) exam and demonstrate the ability to exploit vulnerabilities in LLMs and agents, and build defense that survive real world attacks, learners will master offensive techniques that break AI before the attackers do.

This Python for Penetration Testing course is designed to give you the skills you need for maintaining or developing Python Penetration Testing tools oriented towards offensive operations. We have a suite of courses and certifications that help understand a problem, this course prepares the student to rapidly develop prototype code to attack or defend against it.
The course concludes with a Capture the Flag event that will test both your ability to apply your new tools and coding skills in a Python Penetration Testing challenge.
This course is not intended to be an Advanced Python course, but to exemplify penetration techniques utilizing Python. The course covers Threading, Sockets, OOP, and third party modules that facilitate the offensive operator’s objective.
This course utilizes the “Violent Python” text book.
Attendees to TN-345: Python for Penetration Testers Class will receive TechNow approved course materials and expert instruction.
The RHCSA Rapid Track Course is designed for experienced Linux® system administrators who want to expand their technical skill sets and become accredited with the Red Hat® Certified System Administration (RHCSA) certification. To successfully navigate this course, students should have experience with the Linux command line—including the necessary skills to execute common commands, such as cp, grep, sort, mkdir, tar, mkfs, ssh, and dnf—and be familiar with accessing man pages for help.
