ORION will offer Ontario’s research and education community an exclusive EC-Council STORM Mobile Security Toolkit Ethical Hacking Workshop at the Advance Ontario Conference on May 14th – 16th, 2019. This workshop will help further ORION’s goal to improve the cybersecurity posture of this important sector.
“ORION knows that our community is focussed on keeping their sensitive research and student data safe,” says ORION President and CEO, Alfonso Licata. “We’re committed to providing them with the skills and tools to protect private information, helping limited budgets go further.”
The STORM workshop offers significant value for attendees; they will not only gain knowledge from a highly-skilled trainer about securing their network but also get cool swag, a tablet (Raspberry Pi) along with pre-loaded lectures, and exercises to practice.
The workshop is one-of-a-kind, developed by ORION’S training partner, EC-Council, a leading cybersecurity credentialing body. It includes selected modules from EC-Council’s Certified Network Defender (CND) and Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification courses, that are applied for use on the STORM tablet.
This workshop and conference, as executed by ORION, is going to be one of the most powerful programs which encapsulates the lesser-known trends that will help pool resources towards new and potential technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence. The STORM toolkit is one of the strongest protective weapons an institution can leverage against cyberattacks. The program will also enlighten the scope and benefits of those envisioning a career in cybersecurity.
Danish Arshad, Executive Director of EC-Council
