Dynetics to Host Rocket City TakeDownCon

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - March 20, 2013 - PRLog -- Dynetics will host this summer’s Rocket City TakeDownCon, a national conference that will feature two days of high-end, attack- and defense-focused IT security briefings. Hands-on, “deep dive” hacking courses will be offered as a pre-conference option. The training academy will be July 11-14 and the conference will be July 15-16.  EC-Council is bringing the event to Huntsville in partnership with Dynetics, the premier sponsor and host. The event will be held in the Dynetics Solutions Complex at 1004 Explorer Blvd. in Cummings Research Park.

The Rocket City TakeDownCon will deliver a comprehensive analysis of cyber security through EC-Council’s industry-leading training and thought-provoking keynotes in two focused tracks.  Delegates will spend Day 1 on the “Attack,” learning how even the most protected systems can be breached.  Day 2 will be dedicated to “Defense,” and delegates will learn if their defense mechanisms are on par to thwart nefarious and persistent attacks.

The conference is dedicated to all aspects of IT security, including:

·         the most potent exploits

·         vulnerabilities

·         defense - defense mechanisms

·         current security threats

·         attacks - how even the most protected systems can be breached

Paul Coggin, an internetwork consulting solutions architect with Dynetics, will be a keynote speaker at the event. He has spoken at TakeDownCon and other security conferences across the United States as well as in other countries.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for Dynetics and Huntsville,” said Dynetics President Tom Baumbach. “Mayor Tommy Battle has a cyber initiative for the city, and cyber security is a main thrust for Dynetics. This conference will bring to Huntsville the best and brightest in the field. It will enable the Huntsville cyber community to showcase our talents in association with a globally known hacking and offensive cyber security conference.”
