The all-new EC-Council Summit series is created to make advanced security training opportunities available for information security professionals across the globe. Attendees get to choose from a selection of highly technical and advanced training workshops offered by EC-Council Center of Advanced Security Training (CAST), covering current and important security topics such as penetration testing, cryptography, network defense, application security, mobile hacking and forensics, crimeware attribution, etc. The event concludes with a one-day security training seminar that specially designed to comprise a few mini-lectures, and allows for participants to actually learn, and not just listen or be rushed through a short presentation like how its like in some other events or conferences.
