As the news about vicious cyber-attacks seems to hit the
news feeds daily, more and more organizations in both the public and private
sectors realize that baseline hacking and intrusion prevention skill sets are
no longer par for the industry. Many companies and agencies have been equipping
their employees with the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification. The CEH
has been the leading hacking certification for the past several years and
carries tremendous value in the field. However, the skill sets covered in the
CEH curriculum is baseline and with so many hackers having the same level of
skills, advanced hackers have found too many ways around their protection
capabilities and this is evident in the attack stories that hit the media
daily.
Advanced Security by TrainACE has been offering advanced
security training classes for the last few years. They are an IT training
organization that is focused on producing bleeding edge security curriculum to train
the world’s best hackers and security pros. The recent news from this leading
security training company is that demand for advanced hacking and security
classes has been explosive over the last several months and the most recent
uptick in popularity is found in niche skill sets like their malware analysis
and reverse engineering training.
Malware analysis and reverse engineering training (http://www.trainace.com/courses/advancedmalwareanalysis/)
goes a long way in helping an organization to bolster its defensive
capabilities. Few security teams have professionals who can pick apart an
attack to determine the source and weakness in their system. Malware analysis
and reverse engineering are unique security techniques that, with the rapid
expansion of skilled malicious hackers, will become a must have for most
organizations that lean on data security. Advanced Security President Ralph P.
Sita, Jr., CPA, stated “Malware analysis training was pretty popular for us
last year, but this year the enrollment demands are up about 200%. We saw the
same sort of demand increase with our advanced hacking training (http://www.trainace.com/courses/apt/)
a few months ago. We believe this need for advanced skill sets is still in its
infancy.”
Advanced Security by TrainACE has been providing IT security
training since 2001. The company has locations in Greenbelt, MD and Ashburn, VA
and trains at client’s sites all over the world. For more information about the
