EC-Council - EC-Council CAST Advanced Network Defense course
Overview
The EC-Council Centre of Advanced Security Training has arrived at Firebrand Training. This three-day Advanced Network Defense course is intensive, and will make you think like a hacker. You will learn how to defend against the latest attacks.
Warning: This is not a beginner’s course. You'll be expected to know how to attempt attacks against many platforms and architectures. The instructor will challenge you to attack a device or system, then you will learn how to defend against it. The course is right for you if you're a: firewall administrator, system architect, or system / Windows administrator.
You will learn:
- How to identify security weaknesses in computer systems or networks, before it's too late
- How to use hacking and pen testing to defend against various attacks
- Best practices in developing secure system and network configurations
- How to deploy machines in a protected state
- Techniques critical to the protection of your entire enterprise against some of today’s most advanced threats
- How to detect malware
Note: this course doesn't include an exam, but you'll become Advanced Network Defense certified.
9x Accredited Training Centre of the Year
Firebrand Training has again won the EC-Council Accredited Training Centre of the Year Award, from a Training Partner network that has more than 700 training centres across 107 countries. This extends a record-breaking run of successive awards to nine years.
Jay Bavisi, President of EC-Council said: “The annual EC-Council Awards highlights the commitment and achievements of our global partners and trainers that have contributed to the information security community.”
Seven reasons why you should sit your CAST AND course with Firebrand Training
- You’ll be CAST AND certified in just 3 days. With us, you’ll be CAST AND trained in record time
- Our CAST AND course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
- Pass CAST AND first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We're sure you'll pass your CAST AND course first time. But if you don’t, come back within a year, and only pay for accommodation. Everything else is free
- You’ll learn more CAST AND. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
- You’ll learn CAST AND faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
- You’ll be studying CAST AND with the best. We have won the Learning and Performance Institute (LPI) "Training Company of the Year" a record three times. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 134561 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
- You'll do more than study CAST AND courseware. We use labs, case studies and practice tests to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging
