Huntress Labs to Host Hands-On “Hacking Windows” Training for MSPs at IT Nation
UPDATE: We had a great time at IT Nation 2017! Nearly 30 MSPs joined us for our session and the feedback has been phenomenal (#1 request was to extend it to a full 8 hours :) With that in mind, we’re already looking at other venues. If you missed Hacking Windows the first time, let us know which event we should attend next!
As you may recall, IT Nation 2016 ended on a high note for Huntress Labs as we were named the “Best Newcomer” in the Partner Choice Awards. Now, as this year’s event quickly approaches, we are excited to continue our momentum.
The cyber attacks targeting organizations both large and small are continuing to increase in frequency and sophistication. To combat these threats, many SMBs believed they either had to invest in expensive tools addressing a specific threat or settle for “sub-par” solutions. However, SMBs and the MSPs they partner with are starting to re-take control. They’re growing their knowledge and skill sets to defend their unique networks.
For us, events like IT Nation are more than an opportunity to sell our solution. They give us the chance to meet face-to-face with MSPs who are “in the trenches” daily, fighting to protect their customers from today’s most sophisticated cyber threats — often with limited expertise or in-house technology and personnel resources. These events are also a time for us to help equip MSPs with tools and techniques to better defend their customers against attackers.
On Wednesday, November 8 from 1:00–5:00 p.m. ET, Huntress Labs is hosting a hands-on course teaching how hackers gain initial access, evade anti-virus tools, establish a persistent foothold, and exfiltrate sensitive data. Attendees will use common exploitation techniques to compromise victim virtual machines, preparing them to quickly identify and respond to Windows-based attacks and breaches. The purpose behind this training is simple: if you don’t know how to compromise a system, how can you defend against attackers attempting to do the same?
Our goal is to help our MSP partners begin to think more like the attackers — something they haven’t necessarily had the time and expertise to do previously. If you will be at IT Nation, please join us for this valuable training session. Registration is available here.
While at IT Nation, make sure you come see the Huntress Labs team at Booth #208 in the Solutions Pavilion. We’d love to help you make it difficult for hackers to infiltrate your customers’ environments.
If you’d like to schedule a time to meet with us during IT Nation, please contact us at 1 (833) 486–8669 x1 or sales@huntresslabs.com. We look forward to seeing you there!
