CORE IMPACT Pen Testing Tool Augments 7Safe’s University Accredited Training

7Safe’s university-accredited IT Security education series will feature practical exercises using CORE IMPACT penetration testing software beginning in September 2006.

The cutting edge IT security training course CSTP Ethical Hacking: Hands-On 2 will utilise the Core Security Technologies software product, familiarising students with commercial-grade exploit software and complementing the open source software already featured in course exercises.

Dan Haagman, 7Safe Operations Director, commented, “It is no secret that 7Safe has been using CORE IMPACT for some time on our penetration testing consulting assignments. This revamp of the CSTP Ethical Hacking: Hands-On 2 course has given us the chance to build this very effective security test tool into the course, which adds to the rest of the courseware very nicely.”

By attending the CSTP course, 7Safe students will also be eligible to receive a $2,500 USD 7-day evaluation version of CORE IMPACT, which is not available to the general public.

The CSTP Ethical Hacking: Hands-On 2 training course is the sequel to the CSTA Ethical Hacking: Hands-On course that introduces students to the lucrative world of professional penetration testing. The courses lead to highly sought-after qualifications when combined with distance-learning University assessments and also contribute Masters-level credits toward to the world’s first Postgraduate Certificate in Penetration Testing and Information Security.

Whilst the CORE IMPACT software has been added to the stable of penetration testing tools featured in the course, 7Safe remains impartial and independent of all vendors and does not sell any third party software products.
