This in-depth class is the only Penetration Testing class available that completely covers the processes and procedures, tools and techniques, and technical skills required by security testers and security administrators.

Toronto, Ontario October 26, 2004 -- iVolution Technologies today announced the arrival of their Applied Penetration testing class to be launched in December, 2004. This in-depth class is the only Penetration Testing class available that completely covers the processes, procedures, tools, techniques and technical skills required by security testers and security administrators. “iVolution Technologies new Penetration Testing course is like no other course on the market. We follow a disciplined approach to security testing through ISECOM’s OSSTMM (Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual),” says Richard Zaluski, Director of iVolution’s Security Services.

iVolution’s Security Engineers have conceived an innovative Penetration Testing class and applied methodology that instructs students on how to perform extensive Penetration Tests using Open Source and commercial software tools. This allows a best of breed product positioning in the market. This class is distinguished by iVolution’s hands-on, experience driven teaching methodology, unlike conventional lecture format, students learn by doing an actual Penetration Test and all that it involves.

“We believe in being as realistic as possible in our APT class. Students research exploits and vulnerabilities that they find in our virtual company, then apply those exploits and code as well as other techniques to perform all aspects of Penetration testing. What we try to reinforce is that penetration testing is more than running tools; it involves research and skills. This is a five day intensive hands on course,” says Mr. Zaluski. iVolution’s instructors incorporate dozens of real-world labs with real servers, real exploits, real attacks, logs and case studies to provide students with an authentic and practical experience.

“iVolution offers a course which does not compare to others in its intensity and scope. We feel that this coincides with our other best-of-breed offerings,” says Tracy Little, Director of Sales and Marketing Products for iVolution Technologies “By offering an intense hands-on computer training course which is product independent, we now are able to offer a complete testing solution rather than just a set of tools for technical investigators to learn and use.”

“We are extremely excited about our new product.” Said Richard Zaluski, Founder of iVolution, “We hope to be able to drive home the methodology behind Penetration Testing and create the proper skills needed in security testers. Anyone can download tools from the internet and run them, But knowing how to employ tools, and when that is the key.”
