SECURITY UNIVERSITY TRAINING DEFENDS AGAINST CYBER ATTACKS.

Security University, Norwalk, Conn., a provider of advanced information technology security training specifically designed for executives, network professionals and systems administrators, has announced its fall curriculum of hands-on classes for AIS certification.

"The events of September 11 heighten the urgency for those charged with protecting information security to have the training and skills required to defend their companies and organizations against cyber attacks," said Sondra Schneider, senior director of Security University. "Only in an advanced, hands on environment can one truly acquire the knowledge and skill necessary to be able to detect, react and respond to malicious activity in any network from both a technical and management prospective."

Fall lineup of classes:

-- "Naked Virus" Advanced Malware - see the naked virus and learn how to mitigate risk from these incidents; recreate worms and other viruses in the "what's next" lab., November 26-29, San Francisco.

-- PKI II "Exposed" - stand up multiple CA's "live;" create a PKI framework with local and Web-based certificates for Microsoft, Netscape, Entrust, Spyrus and more. December 10-14, San Francisco.

Over the past several days, Schneider said Security University had experienced an increase in registration for its courses, many of which serve as part of the curriculum leading to AIS security certification.

"Most of the inquiries are coming from enterprises that realize they must now plan new security measures addressing potential assaults and increased Internet security requirements," said the 18-year information security industry veteran who has been traveling the world training network professionals in advanced network security technologies. She specializes in network perimeter security, vulnerability auditing, intrusion detection, advanced authentication and PKI systems, and broadband networks.

Advanced Information Security (AIS) certification results from a series of advanced hands on courses designed to improve the network security infrastructure of corporations and organizations. After completing all courses, the network security professional will have an advanced understanding of how to protect electronic assets, and the critical paths to that information, from attack.
