CISSP Exam Certification Boot Camp
FACILITATED BY INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION SECURITY EXPERT:
CLEMENT DUPUIS (Biography Below)
It’s rare to find an industry visionary with over 25 years of experience in government Information
Security and Defense teaching a certification boot camp class for “ordinary” professionals. But leader and standard-setter, Clément Dupuis, sees sharing his extensive knowledge and experience with his students as “a privilege and a responsibility.”
“I come from a small lumberjack village in Canada,” he explains. “People there help each other. It’s how we are. It’s what we do.” Even so, Clément’s humble beginnings belie the tremendous contributions he has made – and continues to make – to the world of Internet technology and security. For 20 years, he served as a communication and IT Security specialist in the Canadian Department of National Defense (DND).
“Where I was first stationed,” he recalls, “there were two things to do in one’s spare time – hunting or fishing. There’s only so much that anyone can do of either, so I bought my first computer to learn and explore on my own.” He quickly became known for his expertise and became responsible for the first computer deployed within a field unit (“a big 65 pound tempest clunker with tons of screws – 42 to open the cover alone”) he also achieve the milestone of having built the first LAN and WAN ever deployed in an army operational unit. In the early 1990s, he supported NATO operations in Somalia and Rwanda, being one of the few people in the world who could build and support complex computer/satellite communication systems from scratch under the most austere conditions ever experienced by troops oversea. Clément’s knowledge and abilities became so deep and highly regarded by the Canadian military that his last two years within the Department of Defense were spent training others and passing along his huge amount of knowledge.
He very actively participated in the development of the first version of the CISSP® and GSEC course materials for the SANS Institute and now supervises the delivery of all security related classes at Security University in Reston, Virginia, USA. He is one of the school’s most popular, most successful and often-requested instructors, which is due as much to his sense of humor and unassuming manner as to his extensive insights and experience. He is proud of the relationships he builds with his students and is pleased to advise them before, during, and even after they have completed their exams.
Industry professionals may be most familiar with Clément’s internationally renowned websites, including www.cccure.org, the leading portal for CISSP®® and SSCP exam preparation and practice materials.
