Hi there, Merry Christmas I am no where myself a "security pro" but an engineer wanting to be one. Any basic training should have 1. Networking Concepts, Administrations: tcp/ip, firewalls, nids, snorts, sniffers, spoofing, DoS,DDoS etc etc 2. System OS Concepts, Administration: Windows Patching, security, Unix/Linux,tools like lophtcrack 3. Little programming;-) Understanding Buffer overflows atleast in its basic essence 4. Cryptography, Key/id Mgmt etc This is just a small key things which I believe are necessary, U can add a lot more. Regards Gautam U can hire me though ;-) http://securityfocus.com/jobs/resumes/446 -- Gautam R.

[I am reposting the question with modifications] Hi, I was asked to prepare syllabus for security management,incident handling,forensics analysis, intrusion detection etc., Th intention is train an engineer to become a SECURITY engineer. we know there are several certifications which are designed for this purpose. I want from you with your security experience tell us what should an BASIC course for security really requires. If industry wants to recruit an engineer for its security needs what type of experience they look for? Note: Please dont relate my question with any certifications and be generic. Thanks for any help, -Ravi
