This three-hour Penetration Testing workshop will introduce attendees to
hacking techniques and methods used to break into networks. Attendees will
learn how the focus of security has changed in recent years and will see how
penetration testing can make a huge difference in your security program.
Attendees will see live or simulated demonstrations of attacks on computer
systems. There will also be a Metasploit demonstration with directions and
the tools given to attendees to practice at home. Seeing the ease with which
these attacks are carried out will demonstrate the problems faced by
information security personnel every day.

Knowing how attacks are carried out is the first step to defending against
them. Penetration Testers provide an invaluable service to those defending
networks worldwide. This seminar is not a sales event—it is a presentation by
an experienced security professional with years of network attack and defense
experience. Attendees will LEARN about penetration testing and hacking. They
will not just see a demonstration of the frightening tools and attacks.
