As more DoD weapon and mission support systems become software dependent and networked, government agencies are being increasingly exposed to severe cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

This webinar will help DoD agencies and systems integrators, who support them, understand how pentesting can help secure next generation weapons and mission support systems.

We’ve been conducting penatration tests for decades, but with the technology evolution we’ve seen radical changes in today’s networks, including ubiquitous encryption, the death of the traditional network perimeter, and the advent of new end point devices, including a myriad of IoT devices.

Join Dr. James Stanger CompTIA’s chief technology evangelist and Mike Tanner Global Knowledge’s federal sales director discuss how pentesting has morphed.

Larn the relevant skills that a pen tester should have today, how organizations use a pen tester, and how to usefully “digest” information gained from a pen test.

Here’s What We’ll Cover:

• How the IT environment has changed radically in the last five years
• Penetesting challenges DoD agencies face today
• Responsible pen testing and the hacker lifecycle:
  • Why does the pen tester even exist?
• Understanding the “hacker’s dilemma”
• The “hacker’s dilemma” and the hacker lifecycle:
  • Mapping IoCs to steps in the hacker process
• Responsible pentesting: A demo

Session participants will earn 1 CEU for the following CompTIA certifications PenTest+, A+, Network+, Security+, Cloud+, CySA+, or CASP. Note: To receive the credit you must attend the entire webinar session.

Selenium is a portable framework for testing web applications. Selenium provides a playback (formerly also recording) tool for authoring functional tests without the need to learn a test scripting language (Selenium IDE).

It also provides a test domain-specific language (Selenese) to write tests in a number of popular programming languages, including C#, Groovy, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and Scala.

The tests can then run against most modern web browsers. Selenium deploys on Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms. It is open-source software, released under the Apache 2.0 license: web developers can download and use it without charge.

Steps To Making Clearer & More Effective Decisions

In this fast-paced world, one thing is certain: We need sharp critical thinkers who are able to size up a situation, realize the potential where others may not, and seize opportunities through prompt decision making.

We all perform some level of critical thinking in our daily lives, yet most of us don’t really know what it entails or how we do what we do.

This preview offers you a practical introduction to the highly popular AMA seminar, Critical Thinking.

Learn about the RED model of critical thinking and describe the basics of putting it into action using a practical case study.

AMA’s Critical Thinking seminar walks you through making reasoned judgments that are well thought out. Join us to get a preview of how the seminar reveals the methods used to improve your ability to engage in logical and rational thinking, including:

• How the RED Model is used to get to a decision point
  1. Recognize assumptions,
  2. Evaluate arguments,
  3. Draw conclusions
• The importance of separating facts from opinions
• Three steps you can take to apply critical thinking skills right away
