Hands-On Web Security Course Announced By Learning Tree
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 21, 1998--Learning Tree

``The increased use of Web technologies for corporate intranets and
Internet sites has escalated security risks to corporate data and
information systems,'' said John Moriarty, Vice President of Product

course systematically exposes potential security threats, provides
proven solutions and shows you the steps you can take today to help
ensure the integrity and privacy of your Web data,'' he continued.
``Participants gain extensive hands-on experience in securing and
hardening a Web server, installing a proxy server, encryption and
authentication.''
