Rocket City TakeDownCon Academy Offers Hands-on, “Deep Dive” Hacker Training

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - June 6, 2013 - PRLog -- Recognizing the growing demand for information security education and training, the EC-Council, in conjunction with Dynetics, has put together some of the most sought after technical training and certification classes offered by top training companies and led by well-respected instructors.  Rocket City TakeDownCon Academy will offer hands-on, “deep dive” hacking classes at the Dynetics Solutions Complex, 1004 Explorer Blvd., July 11-14, prior to the Rocket City TakeDownCon conference on July 15-16. Training participants will receive a complimentary pass to the conference.

In addition to free conference attendance, trainees will receive official courseware (for EC-Council and CAST training), a complimentary exam voucher (for EC-Council certification training), a certificate of attendance, and lunch and coffee breaks throughout the training.
Training Academy will offer such classes as Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), CHFI (Certified Hacking Forensic Investigator), ECSA (EC-Council Certified Security Analyst), Securing Windows Infrastructure, Advanced Network Defense and Advanced Penetration Testing.

The CEH Program, a popular course in the cyber security field, certifies individuals in the specific network security discipline of Ethical Hacking from a vendor-neutral perspective. The CEH certification will fortify the application knowledge of security officers, auditors, security professionals, site administrators and anyone else who is concerned about the integrity of a network’s infrastructure. A Certified Ethical Hacker is a skilled professional who understands and knows how to look for the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems and uses the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker.

“We are privileged to have the opportunity to offer this extensive training in Huntsville,” said Dynetics Vice President Jonathan Whitcomb, Information Technology and Products. “Some of the most in-demand classes will be available in one venue at a very reasonable price.”

Discounts for training are available to EC-Council members, government employees and college students and professors. An early bird rate applies through June 15.
