This course addresses in detail the most up-to-date WLAN intrusion and DoS tools and techniques, functionality of the 802.11i amendment to the 802.11 standard, the inner-workings of each EAP type used with wireless LANs today, and every class and type of WLAN security solution available on the market - from wireless intrusion prevention systems to wireless network management systems.
CISSP: This course trains students in all areas of the security Common Body of Knowledge. They will learn security policy development, secure software development procedures, network vulnerabilities, attack types and corresponding countermeasures, cryptography concepts and their uses, disaster recovery plans and procedures, risk analysis, crucial laws and regulations, forensics basics, computer crime investigation procedures, physical security, and more. There are four processes a candidate must successfully complete to become a certified CISSP. To sit for an exam, a candidate must assert that he or she possesses a minimum of five years of professional experience in the information security field or four years of experience plus a college degree. Professional experience has to be in two or more of these 10 (ISC)² CISSP domains: Access Control, Application Development Security, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning, Cryptography, Information Security Governance and Risk Management, Legal, Regulations, Investigations and Compliance, Operations Security, Physical (Environmental) Security, Security Architecture and Design, and Telecommunications and Network Security.
ISSEP: This course is designed to prepare (ISC)2 CISSP-certification holders for the Information Systems Security Engineering Professional (ISSEP) exam. (ISC)2 created the CISSP-ISSEP engineering-specific concentration in conjunction with the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) providing an invaluable tool for any systems security engineering professional. CISSPR-ISSEP is the guide for incorporating security into projects, applications, business processes, and all information systems. The course guides students to understand the CISSP-ISSEP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) by comparing it to a traditional Systems Engineering model, enabling you to see the correlation of how security fits into the design and development process for information systems. The course also introduces key points of more than 50 U.S. government policies and procedures that need to be understood in order to understand the CBK and protect U.S. government information.
Cyber Security: Malicious Code Analysis: Malware, short for malicious software, is code designed to infiltrate and exploit a computer system or network without consent. This course provides students with a comprehensive study of the many types of Malware and their functions. The course stresses types of malware, global effects, Malware analysis and Incidence Response Plans. Lab exercises reinforce the lectures.
