Professional Hackers Teach Businesses How to Protect Against Malicious Hackers

(August 9, 2010) St. Louis, MO – In today’s world of identity theft and network security breaches, it’s more important than ever to have a line of defense from malicious computer hackers. That’s why Parameter Security, an ethical-hacking firm based in St. Louis, Missouri, created H@cker University to help businesses develop offensive cyber security techniques to protect their networks and data banks.

H@cker U is primarily designed for IT professionals in charge of network security for their organization. Classes are intended for IT directors, IT managers, chief information officers, chief technology officers, network administrators and various information technology professionals who maintain network security.

An upcoming class offered by H@cker U is the Certified Ethical Hacker Bootcamp & Certification. This course educates IT professionals on how to properly test the security of their network by executing various techniques and tools hackers use as well as effectively lock down their networks.

Dave Chronister, Parameter Security’s Lead Ethical Hacker & Instructor, said H@cker U’s courses have been in such demand due to the ever-growing number of hacks in media headlines. “How can you defend against the enemy if you don’t know what the enemy is thinking or what their strategy is?” says Chronister. “The Certified Ethical Hacker course gets inside the minds of hackers, exposes the tools they use to hack secure networks, ways to identify network weaknesses before you’re attacked, methodologies used to gain access to common technologies and most importantly how to better secure your network from malicious hackers. If your job is to help keep your company’s network secure, then I highly recommend attending this class. It’s an eye-opener.”

Hacker Univeristy offers a variety of security bootcamps and certifications from C|EH to CISSP, E|CSA, COMPTIA Security+ and much more. While Hacker University can come to you and teach onsite, here’s a list upcoming classes offered in the St. Louis area in the next few months:
