COURSE CONTENT
This is a pioneer industry driven executive course with real life
experiences in the Kenya ICT Industry. In this executive course, Mr. Edwin
Wambugu will deliver lectures on how KREP Bank, Celtel and PacketStream have
managed to overcome security issues in launching the SokoTele system that
allows transfer of money through the Celtel network.

Over and above the industry perspectives, this is a unique, authoritative,
high-value, hands-on practical course which will provide participants with
essential understanding of the tools, methodologies and vulnerabilities that
hackers/intruders could employ to exploit the IT systems of their
organisations. Most organisations now realise that in order to defend
themselves against the threat of attack by hackers, crackers, and indeed any
individual intent on causing disruption to their IT systems, IT staff must
have an informed and current understanding of the present-day methodologies,
tools, and vulnerabilities which allow these exploits to happen.

During this course, participants will learn about the hacker mindset and
become familiar with the tools and methodologies that are used to attack
systems. Using state-of-the-art classroom setups, delegates work with
LINUX/UNIX and Windows systems, and associated server software. A wide range
of hacking tools and security auditing tools are used during the course.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course fulfills two vital objectives for anyone working in IT systems
administration, IT security or IT support roles:
1.The course builds a strong awareness of the wide range of risks and
threats now faced even by organisations which believe they have strong
security solutions in place.
2.The course provides delegates with a solid understanding of the control
measures that need to be put in place in order to limit an organisation's
vulnerabilities and risk of attack.

By the end of this course, the participant will have learnt about:
-The tools, techniques and methodologies employed by hackers in a dedicated
lab environment.
-How hackers can collect and assimilate information about an organisation's
infrastructure whilst avoiding detection.
-How information may be used to assess your IT systems' weaknesses and
subsequently launch an attack against target systems.
-The techniques that are typically used to gain access into a system.
-The types of tools that are used to elevate access on a system.
-The techniques used by hackers to conceal their tracks and the methods via
which access to a target system may be maintained.
-The limitations of security firewall systems and the tools used to bypass
them.
-How hackers bypass Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS).
-Measures that you can employ to secure and protect information against
hacker attacks.
