ThinkSECURE Pte Ltd

ThinkSECURE Pte Ltd ("ThinkSECURE") offers hands-on technical IT-security certification courses that address the fundamental question: "Who Trains The IT-Security Pros?" Unlike others, ThinkSECURE's certification exams are hands-on practical exams. This means that certification candidates must apply & execute practical techniques & actions against real-world target infrastructure in order to be able to answer exam questions. This approach ensures that: - only candidates demonstrating ability to apply knowledge practically get certified, - pretenders who only know how to memorize facts are stopped from attaining & devaluing the certification, - the investment that candidates & their employers make in getting certified is safeguarded, - employers can more easily identify people who are able to apply knowledge and handle pressure because of passing a practical lab-based exam and not a theory-based MCQ one. ThinkSECURE's R&D department also releases highly-regarded security tools such as the OSWA-Assistant™, MoocherHunter™ and Probemapper™ and is the only certification body in the world that actively designs and runs IT-security tournaments. Examples of this include the BlackOPS Security Tournament in Singapore in 2004, AIRRAID (Asia's First-Ever Wireless Hacking Tournament) in 2005, and AIRRAID2, Thailand's first ever public security/hacking tournament, held in Bangkok in 2008. ThinkSECURE also provides expert penetration-testing and incident-response services. It has serviced private & government organizations inside & outside of Singapore. ThinkSECURE staff often act as the penetration-test-executors behind a main contractor's project. Fronting a large project, many large companies often engage ThinkSECURE to take advantage of the skill of its staff in executing the security-testing component of their large projects.
