Customer Onsite workshop can also be conducted for customers in Lahore, and Islamabad PURPOSE:
This course is designed to provide you all what is needed to understand security related to storage technologies. 

This two-day workshop is designed to develop storage security skills and data protection strategies associated with managing the explosive growth of business data across the enterprise in today's networked economy.

In a nut shell, two criteria can help determine the effectiveness of a storage security methodology. First, the cost of implementing the system should be a small fraction of the value of the protected data. Second, it should cost a potential hacker more, in terms of money and/or time, to compromise the system than the protected data is worth.

The training course flow will be a mix of lectures & classroom discussions so that participants can have a detailed understanding of various components of Storage security and data protection technologies best practices.

Training will be delivered by an experienced trainer with 30+ years of career experience imparting education and training services both locally and internationally and have served international enterprise technology vendors including IBM, Fujitsu, and ICL.

Our instructor holds various industry professional certifications in the space of enterprise servers and storage technologies, Information Security, Enterprise Architecture, Blockchain Technology, ITIL, Cloud, Virtualization, Green IT, and a co-author of 10 IBM Redbooks and have developed 70 plus courses in the space of security and digital technologies.

AUDIENCE:
This course is intended for resources who:

• End-user customers to expand their knowledge in the field of storage securities.
• IT Operation Teams, InfoSec and Cybersecurity professionals.
• Want to start their career as Storage Pre Sales Specialists.
• Want to develop skills as Storage Consultants and Systems Integrators.
