Pure Hacking is offering training in real world computer security, OSSTMM Professional Security, Testers Certificate Course, 4-8th Dec 2006, Sydney Australia

Are you a current security tester seeking more structure to the process, or an IT professional wishing to add security testing to your skills or responsibilities?

Pure Hacking, the only dedicated, vendor neutral ethical hacking company in Australia is offering the OSSTMM Professional Security Testers (OPST) certification course to a limited number of IT professionals.

The OPST certification is the official security testing certification based on the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM available at www.osstmm.org).

While the OSSTMM provides the structure for “What” to perform in a security test, the OPST provides the “How”. The course covers:

• which tools to use,

• how to use the tools, and most importantly,

• the methodology behind security testing.

The course builds on your existing network and systems knowledge and provides you with the skills to become a security tester or for the more experienced, the course will expand your knowledge and make your tests more complete.

The training course will support the necessary knowledge transfer for a person to be considered a capable, resourceful, and self-sufficient security tester.

The course focuses on the technical skills necessary for security testing and the business skills required in understanding contemporary business and security needs. The final certification exam is based on these two areas.
