Mile2 Security Training And Certification


Mile2's famous Penetration Testing classes have become the de facto standard for the US Military with dedicated classes being delivered at US Air Force bases as well as for the US Marines, US Army and National Guard. Mile2 has also taught personnel from the United Nations, NATO, foreign Military and Government personnel and a large number of Fortune 500 companies. These same courses are now available to you exclusively through New Horizons of Kansas City.

Following 9/11 New Horizons of Kansas City's security training partner, Mile2, through necessity has been thrust into position as the World's largest specialty IT security training organization. Mile2 has provided training services to every US military and intelligence agency, as well as similar agencies for some of the USA's closest allies. These same classes are available to the corporate world with students coming from industries ranging from charities, banking, insurance, health, communications, transport, law enforcement, education and almost any sector imaginable. Mile2's distinction over the competition is that our instructors eat, drink, sleep and breath IT security. As such, they are able to bring exciting lab exercises and real life examples into the classroom resulting in a very fulfilling and wholistic learning experience for our students.

IT security training investments require a higher degree of due diligence on the part of the student and on the part of management personnel responsible for Information Assurance within their organization.

Unfortunately the managers of many organizations have yet to grasp the severity of risks posed by the vulnerabilities invariably present within their network because many are yet to be identified. As such, they are often reluctant to invest in the security training those on the frontline are desperately seeking. Unlike almost any other IT problem an organization may face, a security breach is far more serious than a broken router or a crashed hard drive which can be routinely remedied. After all, information assets such as customer databases, trade secrets and intellectual property are probably the most valuable assets on a commercial organization's balance sheet; or, in the case of government or military entities, their databases contain some of the world's most sensitive secrets. Information assets are usually the worst things to lose because when they are stolen, they are probably not insured and invariably create irrecoverable or irreversible damage.

In an effort to provide the best possible protection for their clients' information assets, New Horizons Kansas City has elected to bring in "hired guns" from "Mile2" to make sure you have everything reasonably required to create and implement effective security policies. We will continue to utilize our internal team of multifaceted instructors to provide you with what we believe to be the best training value in the Overland Park area for other IT training courses such Microsoft, Cisco and CompTIA to name but a few. However, with respect to IT Security Training, we have entered into an exclusive partnership with the world's foremost name in IT security education, Mile2. This decision allows local organizations a quality alternative to the "class in a box" security options offered by other training vendors and delivered by their internal all-purpose trainers. These courses are generally obsolete by the time the curriculum is shipped, let alone presented in class. IT Security evolves constantly and in so keeping, Mile2's curriculum is unique in that it is printed only a week or two before each event to allow for crucial last minute updates; hence, covering the latest threats. The classes are delivered by Mile2's specialty security instructors who are flown in specially for each event.
