Eric Van Buggenhout is organizing the SANS SEC 560 "Network Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking" in Diegem and is looking for people to participate. ISSA Members get a 10% discount.
Togheter with the SANS Institute, Eric will be organizing the SEC560: Network Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking course in mentor style in Brussels. The course will be held at Ernst & Young's premises in Diegem, each tuesday from 18.00 until 21.00 starting on April 20th and ending on June 22th. The SANS mentor program is designed to guide the students through the course content in ten consecutive sessions, where in each lessen the mentor will walk through the difficult sections of the course, provide hands-on excerises and experience, and if there is some time left, demo some cutting-edge penetration testing techniques. This style is perfect for students who can not spend a whole week at one of the SANS conference in Europe but who can dedicate some time for preparing the class through self-study. All students will receive the official SEC560 course books from SANS and access to MP3 recordings of the official SANS class.
If you know anyone of our colleagues or professional contacts who could be interested, please feel free to forward this email. More information on the course can be found here below:
Course Content Successful penetration testers don't just throw a bunch of hacks against an organization and regurgitate the output of their tools. Instead, they need to understand how these tools work indepth, and conduct their test in a careful, professional manner. This course explains the inner workings of numerous tools and their use in effective network penetration testing and ethical hacking projects. More information on the SANS SEC 560 course can be found at http://www.sans.org/security-training/description.php?tid=1717.
The SANS Mentor program is a self-study learning experience. Students will work independently at their own pace, and are expected to read the course books and any study materials provided -- prior to attending the Mentor-led sessions.
Mentor Biography Erik has been working for Ernst & Young’s Financial Service organisation for the last two years, under supervision of Pieter Danhieux, who is one of SANS's official instructors in Europe for the SEC560 course. Erik is dedicated to IT Security projects, including network and web application penetration testing for large financial institutions. In order to keep his knowledge at the cutting-edge, he travels around Europe attending hacking courses and conferences such as SANS, BruCON, CCC and Hacking at Random. He is also one of the main developers of The Hex Factor hacking challenge, which runs each year on conferences such as BruCON in Belgium and SANS London.

We would like to inform you about our board election results, upcoming events and member benefits.
At our last annual General Members Meeting, we elected a new board. Our new board composition is as follows:
President: Bart Moerman
Treasurer: Xavier Serret Secretary: Thomas Herlea Membership: Tom Van den Eynde
Vice President: Rob Kloots Vice President: Toon Mordijck
Communications: Tom Van den Eynde Education & General Events: Clément Herssens
Website: Rob Kloots External & Public Relations: Bart Moerman
Sponsorship: Johan Meire
Hello all,
There is now a "Brussels European" community where we can: - announce our next events - post documents (presentations, forms, ...) - create and manage discussions - ...
On behalf of the board of ISSA-BE I wish you all a happy new year. In expectations for your security career I will not wish you anything specific. So much as the one security professional hopes his network will remain hacker free, so much another one wishes to have a successful hack to obtain a better budget.
2009 has been the year of the financial crisis. As a security association we also felt that. Thanks to you all we could maintain our membership pretty well in these times. The effect we see is on the time board members have spare to spent on the association. Indeed, the professional involvement was at the detriment of the time available for hobbies like ISSA-BE.
We are now early 2010 and your organisation is continuing with the organisation of new events which will address a variety of professional interests. And to be able to further expand we would like to get more board members, professionals who are willing to spare some time for their colleagues and their professional career. Yes, not only do you have the opportunity to organise interesting events; you also are able to do develop your personal competences. For those who have a CISSP certification, the board activities count for your CPEs!
ISSA-BE has its annual elections in March. Don’t wait till then to become a candidate for the board. Already start now: contact us and join a board meeting to get the feeling of it. Get in touch with one of the board members.
Howard Schmidt is the current president of ISSA.org.
Today the White House announced the President’s new White House Cybersecurity Coordinator, Howard Schmidt.
Howard Schmidt, is the information security expert who President Obama tapped Tuesday as his cybersecurity coordinator and who served as a senior cybersecurity adviser in the Bush administration. He is characterized as a no-nonsense leader who will take no guff from senior White House advisers in advancing the administration's cybersecurity initiatives.
