Course Overview:

This is a hands-on course that covers many of the concepts of securing the perimeter of an organization. This includes concepts such as intrusion detection, packet filtering, and central logging.

A skills focus enables the student to better absorb the subject matter and perform better on the job.   This is not death by power point. The course is aligned with information assurance operators and executing hands-on labs. Lecture and labs walk the student through the knowledge required to truly understand the mechanics of Firewalls.

This course is an excellent precursor to PA-215 Palo Alto Firewall Essentials FastTrack.

Course Overview:

What a great course that is slightly misnamed!  This course may be labeled Security Essentials, but covers much of the subject matter of CISSP!  This course does more than just cover the basics.  TechNow takes the time to give the student hands on labs to exemplify an objective.  Security Essentials Prep Training Course sets the foundation for your security career and sets the expectation of comprehension with more detail than Security+ and more on par with CISSP.

This course provides students skills to take courses that prepare for higher level certifications.

Instructor comments: without question, Dave Askey knows his material!!! great instructor that gave a personalized approach.

Facilities comments: class was taught in a hotel reception area, very nice, quiet and convenient for all people

User: synistry

Instructor comments: Dave was great! (as always). Wealth of knowledge and a master at customizing course content to match the education level of his students. The class kept entirely in pace with where we were at as a group overall on a day to day basis.

Facilities comments: Facilities were overall really nice. The only complaint is that the hotel / conference center had us move rooms on one occasion, and kicked us out early on two others. I would assume this is due to the last minute location change, so I don't think there is anything anyone could have done better in the situation.

Course Overview:

This course engages students by providing in-depth knowledge of the most prominent and powerful attack vectors and an environment to perform these attacks in numerous hands-on scenarios. This course goes far beyond simple scanning for low-hanging fruit, and shows penetration testers how to model the abilities of an advanced attacker to find significant flaws in a target environment and demonstrate the business risk associated with these flaws.
