Ethical Hacker and Security Expert Ralph Echemendia Teaches Class from
Renowned Security Conference While 'Intensemobile' Distributes 'Good Guy
Hacker' Paraphernalia
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Intense School, a leading
Information Technology Certification and Security Training company, announced
today that it will be presenting its Live Online Professional Hacking class
for four days (February 14-18) from the RSA Conference USA 2005 in San
Francisco's Moscone Center. Leading the class will be world-renowned trainer
and ethical hacker Ralph Echemendia, who has appeared on CNN and Animal
Planet, as well as in the pages of USA Today and Forbes magazine.
During the conference, Intense School will be driving through the streets
of San Francisco in its "Intensemobile" to spread the word about computer
security and distribute "Good Guy Hacker" paraphernalia and merchandise.
Ralph Echemendia will be attending the conference, as well as conducting
his Live Online class directly from the conference. Students will be able to
view a live video feed over the Internet from any location, starting at 6:00
PM Eastern Time and participate in the class using (full-duplex) two-way voice
over IP technology.
Echemendia describes himself as a security professional and ethical hacker
whose experience began at the age of 14 with ham radio, phone phreaking and
bulletin board systems. His interest in technology eventually led to jobs in
the computer industry. For over 10 years, he has conducted security audits and
penetration tests, and consulted for numerous organizations, including the
United Nations, Oracle, and various hospitals and financial institutions.
"With our Live Online Professional Hacking class, students will be able to
see for themselves how to think and use the tools of a hacker," said
Echemendia. "The class teaches you how to think offensively rather than
defensively, hack yourself before somebody else penetrates your
infrastructure, that way you can fully understand where your vulnerabilities
lie before a malicious attacker takes advantage of the security holes in your
systems."
The class normally has between 15 to 20 students, and Echemendia is able
to give students individual attention by connecting directly to their machines
and helping them through problems.
The Live Online Professional Hacking class is designed to teach students
the important skills of security testing through intensive instruction and
review by an experienced ethical hacking instructor. Live Online Professional
Hacking thoroughly prepares students for security challenges by leading
students through numerous hands-on exercises using today's tools and
intelligence.
Upon the completion of the Live Online Professional Hacking course,
students will know how to:
-- Perform security testing procedures across a wide range of systems
-- Use various methodologies to analyze and report on data from
penetration tests
-- Implement countermeasures to secure real systems against real attacks
-- Recognize how hackers attack and exploit systems using the skills of a
professional hacker
-- Expose system vulnerabilities before the bad guys do
-- Oversee and govern risks to information, from outside the network and
from within
