Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Training (May 13-14th)

Posted: February 11th, 2010
CEH Overview:
The Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) is a professional certification provided by the International Council of E-Commerce Consultants (EC-Council.)

An Ethical Hacker is one name given to a Penetration Tester. An ethical hacker is usually employed by an organization who trusts him to attempt to penetrate networks and/or computer systems, using the same methods as a hacker, for the purpose of finding and fixing computer security vulnerabilities. Illegal hacking (i.e.; gaining unauthorized access to computer systems) is a crime in most countries, but penetration testing done by request of the owner of the targeted system(s) or network(s) is not, except in Germany.

A Certified Ethical Hacker has obtained a certification in how to look for the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems and uses the same knowledge and tools as a hacker.

ISACA Kentuckiana Chapter Meeting (Feb 2010)

Posted: February 4th, 2010

TOPIC:
Corporations spend millions of dollars every year to ensure against external security threats, but what about internal threats?  Statistics show that companies lose more assets to internal fraud than intrusion hacking.  A good deal of those losses have resulted from a single employee with too much application access, where that employee is performing several high risk processes in an uncontrolled environment.  This session will describe the methods used to detect, mitigate and control segregation of duty issues.

WHEN:
Friday, February 26th 2010
11:30 – 12:00 Networking
12:00 – 1:00 Speaker
