SANS Malaysia @ MCMC 2013

SANS hands-on advanced information security training returns to Malaysia!

Encouraged by the ongoing support from the Malaysian information security community, we are pleased to return to provide outstanding training. SANS Malaysia @ MCMC 2013, (3-8 June, subject to change), is brought to you by SANS and MCMC and will feature the same top SANS instructors who teach these courses in the United States. Join us for this great opportunity to benefit from the world's best hands-on information security training and certification while saving on travel costs!

This year's event will feature new courses in Advanced Computer Forensics and our core course in Incident Response and Hacker Techniques, Exploits & Incident Handling.
FOR508: Advanced Computer Forensic Analysis and Incident Response (GIAC certification: GCFA) - New - taught by Alissa Torres

"There are people smarter than you, they have more resources than you, and they are coming for you. Good luck with that." Matt Olney said when describing the Advanced Persistent Threat and advanced adversaries. He was not joking. The results over the past several years clearly indicate that hackers employed by nation states and organized crime are racking up success after success. The Advanced Persistent Threat has compromised hundreds of organizations. Organized crime organizations, utilizing botnets are exploiting ACH fraud daily. Similar groups are penetrating banks and merchants, stealing credit card data daily. Fortune 500 companies are beginning to detail data breaches and hacks in their annual stockholders reports.

The enemy is getting better, bolder, and their success rate is impressive.

We can stop them, but in order to do so we need to field more sophisticated incident responders and digital forensic investigators. We need lethal digital forensic experts that can detect and eradicate advanced threats immediately. A properly trained incident responder could be the only defense your organization has left during a compromise. Forensics 508: ADVANCED COMPUTER FORENSIC ANALYSIS AND INCIDENT RESPONSE is crucial training for you to become a lethal forensicator so that you can step up to these advanced threats. The enemy is good. We are better. This course will help you become one of the best. - course author, Rob Lee
SEC504: Hacker Techniques, Exploits & Incident Handling (GIAC certification: GCIH) taught by SANS Senior Instructor, Dave Shackleford

By helping you understand attackers' tactics and strategies in detail, giving you hands-on experience in finding vulnerabilities and discovering intrusions, and equipping you with a comprehensive incident handling plan, the in-depth information in this course helps you turn the tables on computer attackers. This course addresses the latest cutting-edge insidious attack vectors, the "oldie-but-goodie" attacks that are still so prevalent, and everything in between. Instead of merely teaching a few hack attack tricks, this course includes a time-tested, step-by-step process for responding to computer incidents; a detailed description of how attackers undermine systems so you can prepare, detect, and respond to them; and a hands-on workshop for discovering holes before the bad guys do. Additionally, the course explores the legal issues associated with responding to computer attacks, including employee monitoring, working with law enforcement, and handling evidence.

This challenging course is particularly well-suited to individuals who lead or are a part of an incident handling team. Furthermore, general security practitioners, system administrators, and security architects will benefit by understanding how to design, build, and operate their systems to prevent, detect, and respond to attacks.

Our training event is being held at Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) in Cyberjaya.
