like to attend the class, you too can host a video

data transmission. You can save even more by allowing
others to attend at your location.

About the
course
The workshop,
taught over 2-1/2 days, is designed as a comprehensive
learning experience to provide practical solutions for
addressing major network security issues. The focus will
be on studying current attack methodologies, examining
your network for vulnerabilities, presenting recommended
solutions and best practices for mitigation, and assessing
the landscape of available tools and methods used.
Instructor Charles Antonelli developed the course in the
process of training over 120 system administrators at the
University of Michigan in network and platform security
essentials. The course has been presented to Merit Member
groups with great success in November 2008, May 2009, and
April 2010. Charles updates the course material annually
with the latest attacks, defenses and tools.
The course is appropriate for network administrators,
system administrators and others who need expertise in
network security fundamentals and best practices. The
course can serve either as a basic primer for novices or
as a refresher course for experienced administrators.
Dates and

The workshop will
be taught from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 26
and from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 27 and
Thursday, April 28, 2011. The Tuesday afternoon session
