Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) April 28, 2014 -- The EC-Council Foundation is bringing this globally recognized hacking and offensive cyber security conference to Huntsville for the second year in partnership with Dynetics, the premier sponsor and host. The event will be held on Aug. 18-19, along with a pre-conference training academy Aug. 14-17, in the Dynetics Solutions Complex at 1004 Explorer Blvd. in Cummings Research Park.

She is the security architect on IDesign, a team of world-class security architects, and her company, CQURE, works on a range of security-related issues and projects. She has conducted hundreds of IT security audits and penetration tests, including some for governmental organizations. Januszkiewicz is co-author of a book about the Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2010 and is currently working on a second book.
Eric Lopez, EC-Council’s Director of Conferences and Events, said, “We are excited to work with Dynetics again this year to bring to Huntsville some of the most well-known and highly respected experts in the field of cyber security. Paula is one of the most admired in the field, particularly with her specialty in Microsoft security. We were pleased with the response last year to our first conference in Huntsville, with 230 conference attendees and 70 pre-conference training participants. We had great speakers and a number of them are returning. We’re fortunate to have Paula as one of our new speakers for 2014.”
The Rocket City TakeDownCon will deliver a comprehensive analysis of cyber security through EC-Council’s industry-leading training and thought-provoking keynotes in two focused tracks, “Attack” and “Defense,” featuring a variety of instructors and speakers.
