EC-Council Launches Center for Advanced Security Training (CAST) to Address the Growing Need for Advanced Information Security Knowledge. The U.S. alone needs between 10,000 to 30,000 well-trained personnel who have specialized skills required to effectively guard its national assets. There is a great demand for highly skilled professionals who can design security systems, application engineers who can write secure codes, as well as forensics experts who are well trained with highly advanced computer examination skills. The launch classes for CAST will be at the upcoming TakeDownCon Dallas, from May 15-17, 2011.
