The main advantages are as detailed:

1. The only SEO (IT Security Education Organization) worldwide to practically map the IT Security knowledge arena, followed by training programs based on this mapping process.

2. The only SEO to build and represent an Education Continuity Program (ECP) for the participants, for various levels, various professions, to enable vertical or horizontal personal development.

3. The only SEO based on Academic concepts for educational programs, to determine the course duration by factors such as: Skill Level, Coverage Range, and Detail of Coverage.

Course Description	Course title
Duration	Course length in days
Skill Level	[A]dvanced.	[I]ntermediate	[N]ovice
Coverage Range	[W]ide,	[M]edium,	[N]arrow
Detail of Coverage	[H]igh,	[M]edium,	[L]ow

E.g. HD-8-AWM

4. The only SEO to be recognized by the ISC2 for 64 CPE’s for CISSP and SSCP graduation (The highest worldwide).

5. One of the only SEO to combine at lease 40% of Hands-On-Training activities within its courses, based on a large amount of attacking and defending exercises, designed and built by the best professionals over a long period of time.

6. One of the only SEO that combine and base the studies either on attacking and defending knowledge, for better understanding of the IT security needs.

7. The only SEO to base and use one clear and proved methodology, with determined rules for study contents, syllabi, documentation structure, and even phonetic and marketing rules.

8. The only SEO to use heavily pedagogies professionals, taking in consideration factors such as duration, scope, timing, time-of-the-day, sequences, human perception and didactic methods.

9. Vast treatment to the participant feedback booklet and improvement program based on those feedbacks.

Education Emphases

1. Clear Methodology - describes and define basic rules of lesson outlines for all the courses, syllabus format, and even marketing or fonts for the above.

2. Pedagogical response – adoption of pedagogical rules by security professionals, including limits, estimations and pedagogic success goals. The main pedagogic goal we choose: “Satisfaction level of the participant”. The training base on various of pedagogical and technological instruments and tools, by recorded exercises, frontal teaching, live demonstrations, one-on-one exercises and “catch the flag” games.

3. Duration Model – for each course series we defined a formula takes in consideration the (1) sub-subjects quantity, the (2) depth of each  sub-subjects, the (3) beginning level, and finally – (4) the goal of each course. Those parameters were defined to enable separate solutions for different participant needs.

4. The Hacker insight – IT Security studies couldn’t be reached without the depth understanding of the attackers thinking figures. Rules (if exists), and operations. The “hacker way” demonstrate clearly hoe each small, naive, pointed mistake may cause enormous opportunity for the hackers. That’s why the participant will learn how attackers use this mistakes and how to block them.

5. Hand’s on Experience – IT Security studies can’t reach the high level goals by frontal teaching only. at least 40% of each course based on Lab training with trainers next to the participants.

6. “Know-How” instead of “Know the Product” – one of the basics most important rules is to teach the participant to think one layer on top of product understanding. This method enables the participant to contend with several of tools produced by different producers, by understanding the way it wad designed.

7. Intensively studies – The lecturers measurement process base on one goal: The best marks they can reach of the participants at the last course day. Potential participant failure will be considered as their own failure, so they should take it in consideration during all the course period.

8. Basic Lecture Structure – each subject based on:

a) Real World Scenario
b) Overview
c) Objectives
d) Thinking Security
ei) Theoretical Explanation
f) Practical Explanation
g) Challenges / Lab exercise
h) Review
i) Countermeasures and Defenses
