IDA Pro Training

The IDA Pro Bootcamp and IITAC Certified IDA Pro Professional (CIDAP) provides with a high sophisticated training trail an ultimate way to show your proven excellence in the field of using IDA Pro in various IT security relevant knowledge domains to address the many challenges of software protection, malware, or exploitation analysis.

Participants get trained with relevant standards, procedures, and methods of using IDA Pro and get trained with high practical background. With successful training and certification participants are able to fulfil extensive binary security analysis and binary auditing processes on software systems and software security environments using IDA Pro. The certification is part of the training trail.

The IITAC Certified IDA Pro Professional qualification is aimed at people involved in advanced Binary Auditing. This includes people in roles such as protectionists, malware analysts, exploit developers, security testers or software developers. This professional level qualification is also appropriate for anyone who wants an advanced understanding of Binary Auditing, such as students or security consultants.

We often craft customized courses depending on your interests, or you can ask for a personal, 1-1 bootcamp (you and the trainer only) for an higher price to better suit your needs.
