Hands-on Security and Trust Analysis: from Strategy to Operations

March 17, 2015 (at 9 a.m.)

This class teaches the lost art of security analysis. Security analysis is about knowing the right tactics from tools to techniques. Everything from what gets to enter the network to what leaves as well as everything that gets put on every machine from mobiles to servers. As many other things in life, technology has improved so much that many companies have allowed it to do the job of security analysis tirelessly every day and usually in real time. But you need to configure it correctly first. So you need to be able to do proper security analysis. Based on ISECOM research for the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM) and Trust Metrics, this class will have you analyzing security better than any machine ever can. So roll up your mental sleeves and bring your data work gloves because this 1-day class will have you going in hard.

This 1-day class covers:

  1. What are we analyzing exactly and why? What's important?
  2. Understanding the art and science of security analysis and practicing it.
  3. Working with trust analysis as a science and practicing it.
  4. Addressing security through trust and security analysis.

About the Trainer Pete Herzog is a security professional, neuro-hacker and managing director for the non-profit security research organization, ISECOM. He created the first social engineering methodology for quantifiable testing of human security for OSSTMM 2.1 in 2002. By 2003 he created Trust Metrics for measuring the amount of trust one can put in anything in a quantifiable manner which was added to OSSTMM 3 in 2010. In 2009 Herzog began working with brainwave scanners and tDCS to directly manipulate the brain and understand how people learn and focus attention. In 2013 he released the Security Awareness Learning Tactics (SALT) project to specifically design security awareness based on the neuro research.
