No company can respond to, or even protect against, all threats it faces. When exploited by internal or external users, network vulnerabilities could be catastrophic to an organization. As a security professional, you must learn how to leverage your knowledge of security techniques to identify the most critical threats to your company’s most critical assets.

Expert instructors will present manual and scripted security-review techniques that go far beyond what automated analysis tools can accomplish. More importantly, the hands-on classroom lab provides real world security knowledge that you need to safeguard your organization.
This course qualifies for up to 32 hours of CPE for CISSP/SSCP and 28 hours of CE for CISA/CISM holders.
What Will You Learn?
Because security is an ever-changing battlefield, Ultimate Hacking exposes you to the latest in web application and network vulnerabilities and defenses. From Windows and Unix hosts to web applications and backend databases, instructors will illustrate each technology's default security posture, installation weaknesses, methods hackers use to circumvent "secure" settings, and countermeasures for each vulnerability.
More than just theory, you will gain critical security skills by practicing with your classmates and instructors in a full-featured computer lab environment.
Foundstone instructors will walk you through foot-printing an organization's Internet presence to showing you how to identify, exploit, and secure commonly encountered vulnerabilities in Windows and Unix systems.
You will also explore web application vulnerabilities and learn how to attack and defend those critical applications. Finally, your skills will be put to the test with major labs at the end of each day, designed to reinforce your knowledge of web application, Windows, and Unix hacking.
Why Do We Teach This?
In order to secure and monitor your network and applications, you need to know its vulnerabilities. Traditional security assessments, performed by auditing firms or "boutiques," can yield some useful data. However, these assessments lack the structure for transferring critical information to those in your organization who need it the most.

Uniquely qualified to present this material, Foundstone's management team and training staff have performed hundreds of security assessments for Fortune 500 companies. These expert instructors have exceptional professional backgrounds, ranging from Big 5 consulting firms, government agencies, the Airforce Information Warfare Center and Wall Street. Members of the instructor team authored the best-selling "Hacking Exposed: Network Security Secrets & Solutions". They are also invited speakers at industry conferences such as NetWorld Interop, Usenix, and the Black Hat Briefings.
Who Should Take the Course?
If you are a system and network administrator, security personnel, an auditor, and/or consultant concerned with network and system security, then you should take this course. Basic UNIX and Windows competency is required for the course to be fully beneficial.
