Critical Thinking Skills
Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally, understanding the logical connection between ideas. It is the ability to engage in reflective and independent thinking, and is about being an active learner rather than a passive recipient of information. Critical thinkers rigorously question ideas and assumptions rather than accepting them at face value. They always seek to determine whether the ideas, arguments, and findings represent the entire picture and are open to finding that they do not. Critical thinkers will identify, analyze, and solve problems systematically rather than by just intuition or instinct. This program will provide leaders with tools for structuring and streamlining how they analyze, solve problems, and make decisions. Participants will focus on using a critical thinking process with current business situations to focus on improved results.

Hacker Methodologies for Security Professionals (HMSP)
Mainstream media coverage of hacker groups and their exploits have left the public thinking that all of cyber security is black magic. While many attacks involve some advanced networking and coding techniques, the majority of compromises are carried out by much less sophisticated attackers. The majority of these individuals have learned the process of compromising servers and networks in the same way that all of us have learned technology: by researching online. The days of creating and compiling your own exploit code are long since past. Most attackers are using “point and pwn” utilities like Armitage, Cain & Able, and the Social Engineers Toolkit (SET) to cause havoc for organizations worldwide. We believe that to emulate the various cyber threat vectors, it is critical to understand what most attacks have in common: their methodology. Bringing together decades of experience in government, commercial and academic cyber security training and consulting, our instructors have developed and implemented multiple threat emulation methodologies. While methodologies change over time to account for new technologies and techniques, the concepts involved remain constant. This course provides a flexible methodology for use in emulating external and internal network intrusion threat vectors.

The course is based on the idea that the best way to learn troubleshooting is to perform troubleshooting. Approximately 25% of class time is spent on lecture, leaving 75% for intensive lab content. Class starts with a discussion of effective troubleshooting technique. Tools and topics are gradually introduced over the course of the week. Students practice applying these tools and techniques in self-paced labs. Students can choose from over 120 scenarios organized by topic and difficulty. Because each scenario is independent of the others, students can choose scenarios according to their interests and experience. Each scenario is designed to help students develop deeper understanding while exploring the problem. All scenarios include optional hints designed to reflect a realistic troubleshooting process while only gradually revealing the solution. Students find the flexibility and challenge of this course very rewarding.
