With cyber attacks occurring daily, most businesses and government agencies are under constant cyber attack. Unfortunately, many organizations are not doing enough to defend their physical and digital assets. Even more concerning is that while some organizations have firewalls, intrusion detection systems and other defenses, few of those organizations regularly test their defenses to determine their effectiveness.
In this course, you will learn a complete framework for testing security, regardless of the technology involved. This course and certification covers much more than just penetration testing. Certainly, penetration testing is an important part of security testing, but there are many other threats and vulnerabilities that require other security testing approaches.
Who Should Attend?
This course is for:
- Software testers that hold the ISTQB Certified Tester, Foundation Level (CTFL) and want to expand their knowledge of security testing,
- Security testers who hold the CTFL and wish to obtain an advanced certification to solidify their knowledge,
- Security administrators who want to learn more about how to test the security defenses in their organization, and
- Anyone who wants to learn more about security testing but do not necessarily want to take the CTAL-SEC exam.
