GEC NEWS WIRESANS Institute has opened registrations for ‘SANS Dubai 2017’, a training event hosting three cyber security training courses, taking place from January 28th to February 2nd, 2017. The instructor-led classroom trainings feature a mix of security courses covering continuous monitoring, web app penetration testing and ICS/SCADA.
“The Middle East is facing an acute shortage of qualified and certified cyber security professionals. We are providing businesses with a convenient and effective means to rapidly ramp up the technical skill sets within their organizations,” said Ned Baltagi, Managing Director, Middle East & Africa at SANS. “SANS Dubai 2017 features courses that specifically address key security challenges that plague the region. These courses will impart a great deal of knowledge and real-world experience, and will best prepare attendees for the GMON, GWAPT and GICSP Certifications.”
With web applications playing an increasingly vital role in every modern organization, the course, SEC542: Web App Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking, helps students move beyond push-button scanning to professional, thorough, high-value web application penetration testing.
SEC511: Continuous Monitoring and Security Operations intends to change this by training attendees on how to assess deficiencies in their organizations’ security architectures and effect meaningful changes that are continuously monitored for deviations from expected security posture. ICS410: ICS/SCADA Security Essentials provides a foundational set of standardized skills and knowledge for industrial cybersecurity professionals. The course is designed to ensure that the workforce involved in supporting and defending industrial control systems is trained to keep the operational environment safe, secure, and resilient against current and emerging cyber threats.
