Rackspace Security Analyst, Ronald Hamann, to Share How Hackers are Exploiting Systems at SANS Tampa - Clearwater Security Training Event

BETHESDA, Md., July 6, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- SANS Institute, the global leader in information security training, today announced it will offer its popular SEC504: Hacker Tools, Techniques, Exploits and Incident Handling course at SANS Tampa - Clearwater 2017 taking place September 5 – 10 in Florida. Rackspace Security Operations Center Analyst, Ronald Hamann (@airforceteacher), will teach the SEC504 course which details how to design, build and operate systems to prevent, detect and respond to attacks.

According to Hamann, "In every aspect of our lives, we're moving more and more of our business, our play, our intimate conversations to the digital world, and it has not gone unnoticed.  The attackers are changing tactics, and changing specific targets, but the end goal remains the same - they want information to exploit for their ends. As the security professionals tasked to protect that information, understanding the attacker has been and continues to be one of our most important tasks. We simply can't protect ourselves without an understanding of how the best attackers think and work."
