Overview

This class is designed for Information Security Professionals who want a jump-start on the best ways to defend their networks against current and next generation attacks. Everything in this class is designed to stop real-world attacks. Every topic has a hands-on lab section.

This class is created from years of penetration testing by the PaulDotCom team. We have assembled the basic core security fundamentals that would shutdown all but the most advanced attackers.

If you are new to security and you desperately want to know how to jumpstart your security architecture and personal knowledgebase, then this is the class for you.

From the class author: "When I got started in information security I wished I had a security blueprint, something to get me going in the right direction. Likewise, today PaulDotCom security weekly's most common question from our listeners is 'how do I get started?' This class answers that question." Paul Asadorian – Founder PaulDotCom Security Weekly
