On January 15, 2014, TalaTek’s Senior Information Assurance Consultant, Joshua Grove, was awarded the credential of Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT) from EC-Council. EC-Council’s LPT program provides those seeking the accreditation the opportunity to practice their skills so that they are fully able to function as a licensed penetration tester.
EC-Council’s licensed penetration testers are trained by experts and specialists who are licensed penetration testers and are taught with hands-on methodologies. The EC-Council LPT certification can only be obtained by passing the stringent examinations of Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (ECSA).
According to EC-Council‘s Web site: “Unlike a normal security certification, the LPT is a program which trains security professionals to analyze the security posture of a network exhaustively and recommend corrective measures authoritatively. EC-Council’s license vouches for their professionalism and expertise.”
This certification means that TalaTek has added penetration testing to its list of services and is prepared is ready to assist in your organization with defense in depth.
