Is there anything else you would like us to know?
I enjoyed every minute of time spent in the classroom with Ken. He is an excellent instructor and knows the course content like the back of his hand. I hope that one day I can be as well versed as he in the field. My hat goes off to Security University. I will definitely recommend this and other courses to my friends, family and colleagues.

Congratulations on your successful Security+ Certification achievement. Who knew a few weeks ago, a meeting at a trade show could result in a positive career move for you?  You make me proud! and show me my time at these shows is worth it :) Thank you so much! It was a perfect way to close out this year. You are more than welcome for the kind words and yes you may quote me. Have a Happy New Year and I look forward to seeing you and Ken in the near future.

Were there other learning objectives your wanted to get out of this weeks course?
No, the course exceeded my expectations! Thx Morrow. C. Hart
Great class.
Ditto,
Wonderful class...

What, if anything, would you have improved on the course? The course, itself, was excellent and although there might be things you could add, nothing I can think of at the moment would be absolutely necessary. I know I marked a lot of Outstandings but I really believe that. The course was great, the teacher was, I enjoyed myself and learned a lot. Couldn't have asked for better.

Just remember you have a great program and that is why I selected Security University out of the many possible vendors when I found out that I would need this class. I really shopped around and you can't beat the training, scope and versatility. I will look forward to taking more classes from your school. Southeastern Computer Consultants, Inc.

'I want to assure you that that I think Security University is awesome and truly professional surroundings, I just though more of a network with server to scan would have been more interesting. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Security University to anyone requiring Info Sec Training and certification.

Thanks for presenting this great class and sending us a great instructure like Ken Cutler i had a great time and learned quite a bit.... D Knox navsoc.socom

Hello Sondra and Ken, Received the results today... Good news... I passed! I don't think I would have been able to do it without the class so GOOD JOB!!! Took the exam on 6/25 so it took just over a month to receive the
results.  Not bad.... I heard people were waiting 6 weeks or more. I'll recommend the course to any of my colleagues interested in CISSP. Thanks again, J Donachy CISO J&J Health Care Systems Inc. MD&D IT Compliance

Just wanted to pass along a note to state that I enjoyed the June 20-24 CISSP class in Reston VA.  My wife bought a ton of post-it notes and I did my own “Hollywood Squares” that Ken used in the classroom on a wall in my basement when I returned home.  I read over the material numerous times from the class, read the majority of the Official ISC2  Harold Tipton e-book and then read the 11 th Hour CISSP book the night before the exam and I passed!   I took the exam July 9 th in Baltimore City.  Thanks for providing a great class and a foundation of material to study for.  I knew I would have to study outside the classroom to pass this exam and all the hours invested paid off.  I hope to come down again next year for another class! -C. Miller

Originally I thought the class would be more questions in preparation for the test but after starting the class I was more impressed with the presentation. Was very happy with the finish. ____________________________________________________________________________

How would you summarize the CWSP class ? The class was very tough and because of that caused me to pay more attention. I learned a lot about security keys that I had no idea was happening. Very informative and thought provoking. Looking forward to more of this type of learning possibly the CISSP. You may quote me. ARMY

It was a great class. I am confident I would have never received the level of know how or the completely professional engagement as I received with Security University . It is without a doubt, I will continue to return to SU as my training resource. Office of Privacy, Information Protection and Data Security IRS.

I thought that the course was well structured. I am accustomed to shorter blocks of instruction with more short breaks; 50min/10min however, because of the level of knowledge and the skill of Ken's presentation, It worked great!

JC Howel Pentagon
I CAN SAY THIS COURSE WAS REALLY A TREAT! KEN BROUGHT REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE TO THE CLASS AND HE HAS A WONDERFUL PERSONALITY. I REALLY ENJOYED THIS COURSE AND IF IN THE NEAR FUTURE I NEED CONTINUE EDUCATION COURSES I WOULD CONSIDER TAKING CLASSES AT THIS INSTALLATION.

Ken is an excellent instructor. His mix of humor and real world knowledge made learning fun and easy. I was amazed, all week, at the amount of knowledge that he possesses and how he was able to transfer that information to the class, and help us all understand the most complex of items. Great instructor!! Keep him around! BAH VA

DHS - Everything was great and cannot wait until my future courses.

Nothing to improve on... class and instructor was very good. It expanded on the CISM review guide without going into extreme detail.

SU CISSP March 2011

Hi Sondra, (CEO Security University)   I just thought I'd follow up with an even bigger thank you for the Security University CISSP® Prep/ iPad2 training program.   I know that even after having an audio training program in my car and having read the entire CISSP® book that I would not have passed without your program.   (This was reinforced by my lousy scores on the practice test)  Mr. Cutler was a great instructor and coupled with the iPad2 tools and SU e-book resources provided, review sheets, and the 11th hour guide Ken recommended, it all turned the trick.  You can add my name to your list of "Passed the first time" students.  Thanks again, Andy (ISC)2  -  ID number: 380646 Andy's email before he heard he passed the CISSP® exam.. Andy Manager, Enterprise Solutions-----Original Message----- From: Andy Sent: Friday, March 25, 2011 2:15 PM To: 's0ndra' Subject: Thanks for the Extra help Hi Sondra,    I have to admit, I was looking at attending two other CISSP® training programs before I found out about Security University.  Both were a little more expensive, (one was a CISSP "Bootcamp" and the other was another well-known (ISC)2 program) but they didn't provide the level of support, an iPad2 with e-Study resources and assistance you did before during and even after the class was over.  Your support in ensuring I was working the right GIBill package along with links to their web page helped me to get the preapproval and in sending the paperwork for my claim; where the other companies just told me they were partially covered, but they didn't have any additional information.  ...   I also appreciate the extra work you did to get us the latest iPadI and iPad2 replacement tools to support not only the class, but to take with us to support our future work.   You didn't have to make all of those extra trips to the Apple store, but I do appreciate it.  I look forward to being in another of your classes in the future. Thanks again for the great service. V/R Andy

Overall the class was excellent. Morrow Long had an obvious understanding of the tools used in the class. He provided demonstrations on how the tools are used and showed us potential attack scenarios. Morrow was very attentive to all class participants. My Information Security background is performing penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and risk assessments. In the past four years I have also focused on program management, cyber policies, and governance. This class allowed me to sharpen and refine my technical skill set. I was challenged throughout the class. I felt that this class helped me increased my knowledge on ethical hacking and utilize some tools that I don't normally employ. Great experience. DOE

SU CWNA CWSP Class Training Feb 2011

The CWNA class was well worth the money and time spent. It filled in a lot of gaps and misconceptions on how wireless works. Tampa Gen Hosp. First, let me say how much I enjoyed both courses.  Metka's knowledge is unbelievable.  It was a lot of material and at times my poor old brain got overloaded.  However, last night a sat down and took a couple of the sample test and I'm doing better than I did in class. FEMA Overall it was a great opportunity. Much more then needed for what I am doing in the real world. I would have liked more opportunities to participate in class with hands on material or subjects. Some of the stretches just seem more like lecture and not actual instruction. While the course is vendor neutral I would suggest not spending so much time discussing the cons of specific vendors and using that time to be more interactive with the class. I thought the instructor was very knowledgeable and did a good job getting through the data. But might be more beneficial to the student to get them more involved and let them finish a thought prior to answer the question for them. By midway I just and others stop answering question. I would consider your training to others who want to grow in this area, I thought all in all the opportunity was rewarding. COMCAST Just like the previous class, this class helps point out some things we are doing wrong on our current network and presents solutions. The labs were fun doing the “hacking” on wireless securities Salem State U

He is an outstanding instructor, he emulates the model for the type of instructor I want to have teaching me when I arrive at a Boot Camp. He is concerned about individuals learning the required materials and his instructional methods are key building blocks to pass the CISSP exam. Gabe Thank you all for an exciting and challenging week of learning! I truly appreciate the test tips and will continue to use them, and the practice tests as I ready myself to successfully pass the exam on Sunday! :) SRA

Nothing! The course was outstanding! The online practice material is the best I've seen to date, the printed training aids beat any of the off the shelf (boring) books I've seen. When you combine both materials with a strong lecture, you have the best of the best, which is, Security University. Thank you for the excellent training! - Sam

SU Q/EH December 2010

Overall I had a wonderful experience. Entering the class, my background information security was varied, however in the past few years I focused more on program management, policy creation, and governance. While I originally got into the field performing highly technical functions that was no longer the case. This was a perfect course to once again sharpen my technical skill set. While it does provide an end to end process to perform penetration testing, it does allow its students to familiarize themselves with many of the best of breed tools used for ethical hacking, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing. From day one to day five I was thoroughly challenged but not overwhelmed by the breadth and depth of the class. The instructor, Morrow Long, had an obvious understanding of the tools we used and provided great demonstrations on their use, as well as potential attack vectors. Morrow was very hands on and attentive to all class participants. On multiple occasions, he assisted me in overcoming a few stumbling points. The class focused on many of the popular vulnerabilities seen in today's world and showed the practical application of security resources to assist an organization in identifying those vulnerabilities, and understanding their impacts on organizations. Leaving the class I felt that I had increased my knowledge on ethical hacking tremendously. I cannot think of anything in particular that would have improved my experience at Q/EH - Alward - SME instructor

Thanks to you (and Clement) for a great training session (and the T-shirt, of course). :-) Kirtland AFB Thanks for the excellent class! Boeing I really enjoyed the class and the pleasure of  meeting both of you. Thank you both for all of your dedication towards preparing us for this bear of an exam. Bernard Clement did an excellent job at presenting the information and always kept it entertaining. JMott Clement more than met my expectations – I think he and I share the same frustration on the usefulness of much of this information – i.e. the CBK should be updated. He was very approachable for someone of his world acclaim J – and provided timely feedback on multiple occasions to questions I had both during class and in the evenings. IDA

Q/SA® Q/PTL® Class Training April 2010

As an Army Information Systems Management (FA53) officer focusing on Cyber Defense, I've had the opportunity to train and certify in several IA/CND specific programs as well as work a myriad of Army Cyber Defense workforce training and development issues. Having just recently completed the Security University (SU) Qualified Security Analyst (Q|SA) and Qualified Penetration Tester License (Q|PTL) courses I can confidently say that Sondra and her team have built an exceptional program of instruction; capturing the essential elements of security analysis and penetration testing methodologies and delivering them in a clear and concise format in a blended learning environment of lecture and hands-on practical skill development with scenario-based final examinations. SU training techniques are a perfect match for our military cyber defense workforce goals since they not only train the relevant concepts of cyber defense and its CND specialties but also in the case of Q|SA and Q|PTL courses challenge the students to apply those concepts in a "tactical" setting that an actual security analyst or penetration tester might see. Security University's Q|SA / Q|PTL program of instruction is impressive and superior to some other training programs in several ways; one of them being the daily hands-on assessment of critical skills being taught. Another was the realistic practical final exam which included a penetration test with a final report that required some in-depth analysis of the resulting sets of data. I spent 30 post-course hours alone on analyzing the data and developing a 32 page report. That's definitely an experience you're not going to get through other training programs that teach a five day curriculum that's predominately lecture based. The Q|SA and Q|PTL courses also expose the students to a wide range of open and closed source automated tools for use in security analysis and penetration testing as well as the built-in assessment and exploitation capabilities of both Linux and Windows based operating systems. I honestly can't understand how we expect to conduct defense in depth across the GiG without our technical workforce understanding basic exploitation, which is exactly what's missing from many other approved certifications. SU equally balances this with methodology and analysis techniques rather than relying on specific toolsets since tools frequently change and are always subject to interpretation of their results. Many leaders and managers in a resource constrained environment try to meet FISMA compliance by targeting those one-shot, many-kills certifications that are on the DoD 8570.01M chart with little regard for how relevant the training might be for certain 8570 categories. No better example can be given than the inclusion of CISSP as an IAT validating certification. Being a CISSP I can attest that it's a great certification for a security manager as it is wide and deep in several essential bodies of knowledge. But it will not enable a security technician, especially at the enclave level, to secure enterprise environments from a hands-on technical approach nor understand the threat and environment essential to effective defense in depth. Therefore it adds little value for an organization to have an IAT-III CISSP from a technical standpoint, but practically, that person can also fill other roles since CISSP covers everything from IAT-I through IAM-III. Hence, managers focus on CISSP and miss excellent training like Security University's programs. Security University training should be a major part of any organization's information security training programs. SHANE F.

I don't think I would have been able to pass the CISSP without this class. It's very intense, and I appreciate the guidance from Clement on how to attack this exam and pass it. I also appreciate how real and down to earth Sondra is. I was able to call her on the phone and make this whole thing happen..

This has been a fantastic experience for me, and I look forward to working with you in the future for my IT training needs. Sondra, I can already tell CISSP Prep, Q/EH, Q/SA, and Q/PTL will be the best $7K investment I have ever made for my future.  Good luck with the 8570 certification!!  See you in 2 weeks. Security University has proven itself by obtaining an industry leader in Information Security, Clement Dupuis, as an instructor. His class has without a doubt provided me with the necessary knowledge I require to pass the CISSP as well as prepare me to be a successful contributor to the Information Systems Security industry. I look forward to future classes with Security University and I would most definitely recommend them for anyone's training needs. Travis, retiring military

thought that the class was excellent and the teacher was incredible. Metka Dragos certainly set a very high standard of excellence by which I will judge all future wireless experts. Her encyclopedic knowledge of Wi-Fi technologies was awe inspiring. She never hesitated when answering the most abstract questions in unbelievable detail from memory. Metka made a difficult subject understandable and interesting for both advanced professionals and new-comers to the field. I hope I have the opportunity to learn from her again. I would strongly recommend this class to all my associates interested in wireless. C. MC Cullom

Q/EH April 2009

I have over 20 years experience in both teaching and information security. I am very particular about both and highly concerned with the decline in real training revolving around the current challenges which we face. I was honestly impressed with both the level of expertise and the instructor's ability to relay this information to the students. This is not simply another idiot boot camp but a well reasoned and directed classroom experience which prepares the student for the real world. I was impressed with the hands-on exercises. These combined with the instructor's elevated knowledge base made the class enjoyable and extremely topical. When you compare Security University to other training groups in the region, they are infinitely superior in both talent and developmental materials. I think that Security University has the right mindset in the development of their classes. They are working to impart valuable knowledge and not simply to push students through. Whereas, I believe that any student could pass any applicable exam after attending these courses, the test is not the focal point. They deserve to be commended for both their mindset and the efforts that they've made to enhance the knowledge-base of their students. I sincerely appreciate my time learning with Security University and would recommend it to any organization which actually wants to develop real IA professionals. PSparks DoD/DISA/JITC

Yes you may quote me. This course was VERY worth while. Specifically the instructors experience made the course worthwhile. Just the study guide is worthless without an experienced instructor providing REAL - LIFE expertise and explaining material. Many of the slides and study materials are clearly NOT developed by professionals working in industry. It took someone with real-world experience, like Metka to provide outstanding instruction. The labs were outstanding. Metka added additional labs beyond the course guide that truly helped to grasp complex topics. AB. US NAVY

I especially enjoyed the lab work where we searched for answers to vocab or questions we had, referenced very good resources on the internet, and identified free programs that would enable security professions to do our jobs more effectively.

CWNA CWSP Bootcamp - June 2008

This CWNA class was extremely beneficial. I will be more confident in my job with this newly acquired skill set. I will look forward to attending additional classes. DOD

CWNA CWSP Bootcamp - June 2008

Security University’s CWNA class is extremely informative for both new and experienced persons. It teaches extremely important fundamentals of RF and regulations to gain CWNA certification. Metka, the instructor, was extremely knowledgeable and easily answered all of our questions and more. She gave very informative real-world scenarios from her own experience that wouldn’t be gained by self-study. I recommend taking this course to gain both CWNA certification and actual real-world knowledge of designing, deploying, implementing, and administrating wireless networks. Network Admin, Academy of Our Lady of Guam Guam..

CWNA CWSP Bootcamp - February 2008

This has actually been a very worthwhile class. I've learned a great deal of information, and it makes me think about the direction of my future learning and career path. I think there's a lot of information here that could benefit my company. The hard part is going to be determining what hardware/tools will be best to implement and convincing the company to spend the money to do it. Owens & Minor

QWAD Qualified Wireless Analyst & Defender- March 2008

I thought the class was very good very technical and definitely something for people with more than a basic background in the technology. Learned many tools and methods that can defeat your traditional Security measures, and can't help but make you a better security professional. Army

CWNA CWSP Bootcamp - February 2008

I found this to be a very good foundational course yet the material was way beyond introductory. Out of the many students, there was only one student that may have been ready to take the exam and have a good chance to pass. The class made me aware of what I did not know about the subject and gave me a good feel of what to expect and how to prepare for the exam. I have nothing but positive things to say about the instructor. She is a true subject matter expert and a real asset. Northrup Grumman

QSA/QPTL - January 2008

Yes. Pls quote me, The instructor was great, he was very knowledgeable. I had CEH and CHFI training from another vendor and I did receive certification but I wish I had attended your classes instead, I would have learned much more. America

QSA/ ECSA QPTL - January 2008

This is an excellent course Kevin is a very knowledgeable instructor and I feel that Iam leaving this course a much better Security Specialist. M. Wilson DHS

QSH/ CEH - January 2008

This a great class, you can not defend against an enemy you have no knowledge of this gives you that knowledge. FAA

CWNA CWSP Bootcamp - February 2008

Excellent class with good hands on labs. Information is explained in a very detailed manner. You may not quote me. Army

QSA/ECSA QPTL- January 2008

After the first day of class, I felt very overwhelmed. So much information to absorb. However, by day four it was finally sinking in on what I was attempting to do and how I was getting that accomplished. A great introduction to several penetration tools.J. Paisley SAIC

CWNA CWSP Bootcamp - February 2008

Yes you may quote me. Kimberly, combined with your course material put wireless network security into perspective. The instructional methodology utilized provided a wealth of learning opportunities through interaction with Kim and fellow students. Thank you as always for providing a quality learning experience. Rick UTE Shared Services

QSH/ CEH - 2008

Excellent course, The instructor was very knowledgeable and very adept at taking something complex and explaining it in a way everyone could easily understand. I passed the test! USAF

CWNA CWSP Bootcamp - 2007

Sondra, I just got back into the office for the holidays, and found your card waiting for me. I just wanted to say thank you, and thank you again for the great training that I received. I have since passed both CWNA and CWSP tests, and wouldn't have been able to do that without the great training from Kimberly and your company. Thanks again, and have a great new year. Jeff Cherpeski

CWNA CWSP Bootcamp - October 2007

As a whole, I enjoyed the class. I learned valuable troubleshooting techniques, such as packet and spectrum analysis, that I have yet to learn in other wireless classes. Kim also schooled us on multiple methods used by hackers to compromise wireless environments. This information will not only enable me to better administer my company's wireless network, but also protect my personal data while at home or in transit. Sean T.

CWNA CWSP Bootcamp - 2007

"Hi Sondra, like most organizations we are being pressured to implement WLAN technologies at the workplace. The CWNA/CWSP Bootcamp gave me a much better understanding of the technology and the associated planning, operational and security issues. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and a great presenter. I recommend this training for anyone considering implementing WLAN access to corporate computing resources." Al Armstrong IT Security Architect Public Health Agency Canada.

CHFI / QFE - August 2007

The CHFI-QFE was a wonderful class where we focused on the processes needed to execute a forensic investigation of a possible computer crime including the crime scene, gathering and analyzing the evidence and how to handle court processes if your case reaches that far. M. Nicks

CWSP - August 2007

Good afternoon, I took the CWSP class at the end of August in Reston VA , and really enjoyed it.  The real-world scenarios were helpful in understanding how it all works together and using the tools made all the difference.  Thanks for the great class.  I passed the CWSP this weekend and am now just waiting for it to go through the process before I can start using the cert. Thanks again, Leigh ----------------------------------- Leigh Riese CISSP, CISA ,CWNA

CISSP - April 2007

You absolutely can use my comments regarding the class. I know without a shadow of a doubt that I would not have passed the exam had I not attended Security University. I had been studying every recommended CISSP book on and off for the last year and the class still taught me many things I did not know and helped me to put it all together. I recommend the class to anyone who is serious about passing the CISSP. Kevin L Feck, Network Security Engineer, Skipjack Financial Services, Inc. " The Payment Solutions Experts"

CISSP - April 2007

I have never worked so hard on a single exam in my life. As to the preparation in your CISSP course I wouldn't change a thing.  I believe the manner in which you cover the material and the material itself is appropriate. Kim did a good job preparing us for the exam and I feel you shouldn't change a thing. Thanks for the support and all the helpful hints.  I don't think a person has a clue how tough the exam really is until they sit for it. Southern UTE Tribe

ECSA + LPT Va - 2007

I passed my ECSA, and LPT on the first try. whoohoo! Not only were the SU classes informative and in depth - once I was back to work, I was able to immediately identify gaps in our processes we have in place, and identify and mitigate security risks on servers and applications.  I highly recommend the ECSA\LPT class from Security University for anyone interested in security and penetration testing.  I'll be back to Security University to finish my QISP as soon as I can.

Phenomenal CISSP Hands-on classes Va - 2006

This CISSP class was Phenomenal. I was ready to test the day after class. I passed the test, first try! Great pre-class prep and self testing 1 month prior to class. SU knows what it take to pass the test! Thank you Sondra for recommending this class! BAH

USAF CEH class San Antonio TX - Dec 2006

The SU CEH materials used in class were excellent! We received all the CEH training material one week prior to class, and were told to read all materials before class. That along with an extremely knowledgeable instructor made the a big difference from other training companies. We will use SU again. 99% of the class passed the CEH test. Thank you.

ECSA Qualified Security Analyst & Penetration Tester Va - 2006

The structure of Pen Testing class was excellent! I was especially happy about how to write a report at the last day of the class! Not only it was the last day of the “bootcamp” but also, learning to translate the outputs from various pen tools and organizing them into a coherent reports. Thank you Sondra for recommending this class! I have gained much needed Security Testing skill set from the top professional (Morrow Long) and am now ready to start my new career as QA/Tester. KC Peterson SAIC

ECSA Qualified Security Analyst & Penetration Tester class VA - 2006

..as feedback to the EC-Council, the test and related materials are in severe need of updating and proofreading. As far as the class itself, regardless of the EC-Council's goals, I would like to be able to say, “Since I took the class from SU, I am a good thorough tester,” not just that I passed the test. Andy Kraut

QSSE Qualified Software Security Expert class McLean Va - January 2007

QSSE is a comprehensive survey of the methodologies, tools and techniques comprising software security. It includes hands-on exercises intended to give the student a taste of the depth and complexities involved in software security.

CHFI - McLean Va - November 2006

Being new to the Forensics field, I was amazed by all the investigators “tools” available to reveal hackers “tricks” and electronic evidence trails. Sondra & Jason are an impressive knowledge-base of information. I plan on attending more classes at Security University. Scott Wolf, private Forensic consultant.

QSSE Qualified Software Security Expert class - McLean Va - September 2006

“This class brings to light that is so much more to coding then just writing quality code. It demonstrated how even the best developed applications can be vulnerable from all angels. It was a great awareness program led by industry leaders. I'm looking forward to other classes”. Yes- you can quote me Jason Grembi, Consultant Software Sterling Connect limited

CWNA CWSP Bootcamp - McLean Va

Excellent training for taking the class. Yes, quote me. David Borden, Air Force

ECSA class - McLean Va

Hugh Weithers, Lead Developer, General Dynamics The class was very educational for me. I liked the fact that the class was interactive and we had the opportunity to do work hands on as well. The class also gave you insight to what topics were going to be covered on the exam. Also it was great to see how the penetration testing is performed from start to finish even how the reports should look.

CEH class wish- McLean Va

Hi Sondra, Peter Black here, again.. I wish I could turn back time and take the CEH class with SU instead of where I took it. By far, SU has more experienced instructors, more equipment and more labs than any place, your instructors and materials really makes a difference. Thank you for working hard, the ECSA class was excellent!

CWNA & CWSP Bootcamp

Hi, just a quick note to say thanks for all the help.  I passed the CWNA exam with an 80% and could not have done this with the book and practice test alone.  I'm scheduling the CWSP exam for this Tuesday. I'll let you know how it goes... Have a good weekend.... -Greg hey all, passed the CWSP with an 80% also, guess that's my lucky number.. could not have done it without the escalating workshops, labs and all the great wireless equipment and extra demos of tools I never imagined to help our wireless network. Thank you!

CEH class - Rome Italy, March 27-31 *18 new CEH certificates!*

Hi Sondra, During CEH course I realized I absolutely need to take another course : the CUSW (Certified Underground Secure Woman). Anyway, the course had really changed me. Though I use a router/modem  (closed by default), I've never think to secure my personal Lan/wan, more then it did. At home and at work now I installed an IDS and a good spyware, and often I check for any strange process in Task Manager... . my brother thinks I'm going mad :-) Sabrina

ECSA Anti-Hacking for Network Penetration Testing Class 3/06

I just wanted to say this was an excellent class. Learning was enjoyable and the instructor really knew her stuff. We started out with general information and moved on to more advanced topics and soon we were hacking alright. Now I know many of you out there are saying, I have read a lot of testimonials and who knows if they are lying. Let me tell you, Security University knows their stuff for a fact and I am telling if you are deciding between SU and a competition you just have to give SU a try to understand what I am saying.

What, if anything, would you like to see changed or added to this class? _*Morrow is an excellent instructor and I enjoy his class and learn a lot picking his brains. If I have to be a nit-picky about his style, he went too fast some of the stuff for me to grasp and digest. Having said that, I would love to take any of his future classes. Please let me know what, when and where! In Summary " The structure of Pen Testing class was excellent! I was especially happy about how to write a report at the last day of the class!

Anti-Hacking for Network Penetration Testing Class

Hey Sondra, 1st day worth the price of admission, received more information first day than just "Pen Testing. The best was networking and meeting other students with diverse security backgrounds/jobs. Web based would be great or on-site with a controlled network, but you have to have the freedom to try all these great tools with sacrificial computers - free from worry!  Great Class can't wait to take another! Thanks! If my company's computer security department could all have this training our core competency would be way up! Thanks again! Diana Davis Westinghouse Savannah River Site Aiken SC

CWNA & CWSP BootCamp

Hey Sondra, Just wanted to let you know I took the CWSP test the day before Thanksgiving, and passed with flying colors, 78%.  Just wanted to drop you a line of thanks for all your help with the course, the test and question vouchers, hope you have a good holiday.  Thanks!

PKI Testimonial

I just came from taking the PKI Training class from November 26-30 session. I am so glad you brought this class to Booz Allen. I knew a fair amount of PKI from college but not in real detail as some other members in my class. The current contract I work on does not involve PKI but all three of my supervisors are so PLEASED with the information & knowledge I have brought back to them. They actually see many marketing abilities for our area in Defense and I might get a chance to work with NST. One thing for sure it has definitely opened my career doors here at BAH. Sondra Schneider, our professor was superb. What amazed me was how much knowledge and experience she brought to the class. She was helpful and most of all patient!!! I emphasize patience because you have a lot of Level-3's who propose a lot of challenges during a class. As a recent college graduate I am the first to inform you how important it is to have a good professor. As I recommended to Sondra earlier you might want to consider having her teach each one of her session for more then just a week but for two. Thanks again!!!!! -Adarsh Prasad

Ultimate Penetration Testing Testimonial

Dear Sondra, I’m writing this letter to inform you of my extreme satisfaction with the Ultimate Penetration Testing class that I recently took from Security University. I’ve been involved in network security for the past few years and have taken security related classes from other vendors, including MIS Training Institute and Learning Tree, and the class from Security University was hands down the best I’ve taken. The instructor was very knowledgeable on the subject matter, the course was well organized, and when it said it was a “hands-on” course it really meant it. The courses I’ve taken from other vendors were either all presentation or a “hands-on” lab on the last day. This course had one to two labs every day that reinforced the material covered in the presentation portion of the class. I feel this class gave me the knowledge and skills necessary to address the security needs of my company, and was definitely worth the money. I would highly recommend this course to anyone else and look forward to taking more classes from Security University in the future. Senior Network Engineer GTECH Corporation

Life After Passwords Testimonial

Dear Sondra, Sondra, I attended your presentation on "Life After Passwords" last week at the Phoenix ISACA meeting. I just wanted to let you know that I thought your presentation and the content were extremely well done. You obviously know your subject very well. Thanks too for your comments at our table during lunch regarding some of my audit concerns at General Dynamics. Take care, Dave Davis Compliance Audit General Dynamics Decision Systems

PKI EXPOSED Testimonial

I just attended the January session. I wanted to send a quick email regarding the quality of the course in accordance with evaluation, future recommendations, etc...I thought the class was an excellent introduction for those people who have not previously had much experience with the PKI. I went from very little knowledge to what I consider a fairly comprehensive understanding of the subject in a short time. I have to say that by preparing for the test, I feel that the knowledge I gained will not be forgotten easily (unlike the material in some training courses). Sondra was an excellent instructor. Not only did she have a great understanding of the subject, but her experience with PKI was very valuable when discussing certain issues. The class was not just a boring lecture for 8 hours a day.I would recommend her to anyone who is serious about learning. She was also very sincere and helpful about answering any questions that came up. I usually don't write emails like this, but I feel it is necessary to express opinions when a class is either extremely good or extremely bad. In this case, I feel that the class was definitely on the extremely good side... Brian Gruitt

Ultimate Penetration Testing Testimonial

Hello! I attended the Security University penetration testing class that was held at the Orlando SANS conference during the second week of December. This was an outstanding class and well worth the price! I went into this class with very high expectations as I have already attended SANS training before and have become familiar with what they have to offer. This class met and surpassed all expectations. The instructor was not only very proficient in understanding the subject matter himself, but he was also very capable of teaching it. I just wanted to take this opportunity to share my opinion with a fellow Booz Allen employee who is apparently in a position to bring more of this training to our company. I highly recommend it! Regards, Ralph

Certified Wireless Network Administrator Testimonial

My job involves making wireless technology available to an entire county of 265,700.  I did not have a lot of time to investigate the different wireless products so I sought out a one stop training environment in which I would have the opportunity to learn most in the least amount of time.  Your CWNA & CWSP classes allow me to accomplish my goals.  I have learned more from this training than any other training or work experience that I have had on Wireless technology. I was not able to just sit back and listen, the instructor made me learn. I needed it! Ronald D. Irving Network Manager 1001 N. Laburnum Ave Richmond , Virginia 23223

Certified Wireless Bootcamp Testimonial

Testimonial: What can I say? But "phenomenal". The in-depth instruction and sound practical applications taught where given utilizing nothing but the top vendors equipment. Security University's CWNA/CWSP classes are highly recommended for experts and novices. Even if you think you know "Wireless" , the information you gain is first class and prepares you for certification. As the demand for technically proficient WIFI managers grows, Security University will be the cutting edge provider of training for all IT personnel regardless of specialization. Reginald Pugh US Army

Security Architecture Testimonial

The Applied Security Architecture was a very interesting and informative class. The first day, when I found out that everyone else in the class was working issues with this subject on a daily basis, I thought I had made a mistake in attending. As a technical manager who spends most of my time doing management rather than technical activities. However, as the class progressed I found it very interesting and enjoyable, if challenging. The exercises really helped me to see what was being discussed and gave me a blueprint for working my issues. When I returned to the job I was able to use the class examples and discussions to address the hardware and software requirements for a security lab that I had been trying to get established for four years. This 3-day class brings the whole network together and delivers a secure infrastructure. Students leave class with templates for best practices and hands-on case studies for an effective information security architecture framework." Grace Culver Chief, Information Assurance Defense Security Service
