Packet Analysis (PCAP) Class Testimonial by Security/IAM professional

Dear ISSA,
I am writing to report the training session provided today was great! I had a better than expected result and was able to gain allot! As we know the IT security space is continually changing and evolving this training was a great refresher course to understand packet analysis and intrusion detection. The initial materials were provided beforehand, and I was able to come pre-prepared knowing what to expect. The start time and meeting time was perfect allowing me to work around my busy schedule. I wanted to get out of this class the ability to understand how to use packet analysis and understanding, how I can see anomalies and a better understanding of network traffic and securing the enterprise network. Mission accomplished! I highly recommend these type of training for anyone willing to learn and expand their skill set. The presentation material by Stephen Deck was highly informative, and the takeaway materials were abundant. I was able to follow along, learn, get useful tools and useful practices I can apply in my position. In our profession it can seem difficult to make the time to self-train on new topics, thanks to this meeting I had the ability to work this into my schedule and lunch was provided! The sessions offered by the ISSA organization are an excellent opportunity to learn and grow a skill set. Thank you ISSA for giving this class this was my first time attending training of this nature provided by the Raleigh ISSA organization. I am glad I took the step to participate in this training and will not hesitate to continue to attend more. I highly recommend to any first-time attendees or even industry experts that are merely looking for a refresher course to learn new information or simply review best practices and methods.

Best Regards,
