Levels the Playing Field Between IT and Security Professionals and the most Competent Criminals and Cyber Terrorists

NTG Clarity Networks Inc, a leader in providing networking and IT infrastructure solutions to enterprises and service providers, today announced the launch of its Network Security Commando Training series and an exciting new Advanced Penetration Testing course.

NTGs Network Security Commando Training Series will combine world-class security courses, certifications and instructors to deliver high impact, high ROI training for industry professionals and organizations.

The Advanced Penetration Testing course delivers to industry professionals the knowledge, techniques and tools used by professional criminals to compromise the integrity of organizational networks, systems, applications and data. This is combined with a comprehensive framework and methodology to thoroughly conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration tests.

NTG is emerging as the leader in security training in Canada. The Advanced Penetration Testing course builds on NTGs extensive experience and is one of the most intense and comprehensive courses of its kind in the world and a definite first for the Canadian market4, said Ashraf Zaghloul, NTG Claritys CEO. 3This is consistent with our vision to be the leader in network security solutions and builds on our partnership with (ISC)2, the CISSP certification body and best in class security technology partners such as Array Networks, PestPatrol and Sybari4, he added.

Security is not only about buying and installing security products on the network. It is about understanding how security, networking, computing and software technologies should be configured and managed to minimize and eliminate vulnerability4, said William Catalano, EVP & CFO NTG Clarity Networks. 3While hiring security consultants and buying a managed service may be desirable, improving the competencies of existing personnel is a guaranteed long term strategy to control and / or reduce the dependency on and costs of external resources4, he noted.

Only when IT and security professionals have equivalent or better knowledge that the adversaries they face can they truly ensure the protection of their networks. Understanding how to test the defenses and detect vulnerabilities is a necessary security practice for all organizations. The Advanced Penetration Testing course goes beyond the tool or vendor based training that is popular. It combines truly comprehensive hacker training with a rigorous methodology designed to give security personnel and senior management the framework to understand and act on discovered vulnerabilities4, said Karsten Johansson, President of KSAJ and PenetrationTest.com and an NTG Clarity security solutions partner.

NTG's Network Security Commando Training Series courses and certifications are selected on a best in class basis, quality of content and expertise of the instructor. The Advanced Penetration Testing course complements NTGs existing CISSP certification program and CISSPs and SSCPs will automatically earn Continuing Professional Education credits.
