SecureData Security, a division of JSE-listed SecureData Holdings, has become the first company in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and the second in the world, to be certified as an authorised TippingPoint training partner.
TippingPoint is the world's leading provider of network-based intrusion prevention systems for enterprises, government agencies, service providers and academic institutions. SecureData Security is its distribution partner for sub-Saharan Africa.
"SecureData is proud to be only the second company worldwide to achieve this certification with TippingPoint," says Oliver N"othen, Senior Consultant and TippingPoint Trainer at SecureData Security.
"As an authorised TippingPoint training partner, we will be able to offer our resellers and their customers services that match the quality of the training provided by TippingPoint in Europe and the US."
The TippingPoint training programme provides comprehensive, collaborative training aimed to provide hands-on experience with TippingPoint's powerful network-based intrusion prevention system.
The courses that SecureData will offer cover a variety of areas such as emerging security trends, implementation planning and advanced troubleshooting and diagnostics. The instructor-led "hands-on" training courses cover the security landscape, intrusion prevention system and security management system (SMS) installation, configuration and operation.
The advanced training includes numerous lab assignments that allow delegates to familiarise themselves with the user interface and common administrative tasks in the TippingPoint environment. Each TippingPoint Advanced course at SecureData will be led by an instructor that has completed the Train-the-Trainer" Course with a TippingPoint Trainer and has completed the TippingPoint "Expert" Certification in Austin, Texas or Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
