The trust analyst is a person who can apply the proper techniques to make accurate, snap risk decisions on what to trust and how far that trust extends.
Anyone who can size up a person, situation, or outcome quickly based on the evidence at hand has an extreme amount of control over risk decisions and ultimately reward. It is especially helpful to determine what information is lacking for making the right decision and what information is actually relevant. Furthermore it will allow you to see how people see you, your image, your company’s image, and how to make corrections so as to be more trustworthy for others.
This seminar is for anyone at any security level. The class is based on trust and analysis research for the OSSTMM, the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual. This course will have you practicing the tricks and techniques for analyzing trusts quickly and to make it the natural way for you to understand your own instincts and gut feelings. You will learn to deconstruct your perceptions, examine an issue without bias, dismiss fallacious evidence, and measure the amount of rational indicators lending to trustworthiness.
The official ISECOM Certified Trust Analyst exam will be provided at the end of the class. More details on the certification are available from ISECOM at http://www.trustanalyst.org. For the exam, an additional fee of 360 € must be payed.
This class is recommended in conjunction with Smarter Safer Better.

He created the first social engineering methodology for quantifiable testing of human security for OSSTMM 2.1 in 2002.
