OWASP NZ Day 2019-Training-Real World Penetration Testing

= Real-World Penetration Testing =

Hands-On Training -- OWASP New Zealand Day-2019

This fast-paced course will teach you how to leverage bleeding edge toolsets and techniques to conduct effective, in-depth penetration tests on the latest, real world network, web and application components. This highly intense, completely hands-on lab based curriculum has been created by our team of industry leading experts with experience in training thousands of professionals from Fortune 500 enterprises, defense and law enforcement agencies.

The class will be conducted on our cloud based, state of the art lab platform where attendees will be doing ​30 unique lab exercises in class​​! Over 90% of class time will be spend on these hands-on, live penetration tests!

In addition to the presentation PDFs, lab handouts, workbooks, video solutions, etc., we will be providing all students 60 Days of free access to our online lab platform after the class! This will ensure you have enough time to revisit the concepts, and work through the exercises again later.
