I know where you're coming from - did the same myself this summer moving from network admin. Back in June in London I attended the SANS conference in Parliament Square and did the Security Essentials track, for which I'm today doing my exam for the GSEC certification. I found their course content and training to be far better than any of the Microsoft based training houses. Unfortunately for you, you can't travel, which means you can't go to their conferences until maybe next year when they come back. However, you can do them online (sans.org). There are other certifications out there, but I think the GIAC ones are the best for those who get their hands dirty .... alan -----Original Message----- From: fuzion .

I have been dabbling shall I say for a couple of years and helping out etc but I really want some good training courses to assist me firstly to be able to pen test our own network and maybe even offer it as an additional service and also to be able to defend our servers from nefarious internal/external users. Could anyone recommend any good training courses within the UK only please as training budget wont stretch to overseas visits. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus Security Intelligence Alert (SIA) Service.
