About ECSA Certification
EC Council Certified Security Analyst (ECSA), is an advanced ethical hacking training certification that complements the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH). While the Certified Ethical Hacker certification exposes the learner to hacking tools and technologies, the Certified Security Analyst course takes it a step further by exploring how to analyze the outcome from these tools and technologies.

DISM Graduand 2010 Awarded Gold Medal - Justin Ross Clarke
The Power of a Mother's Love
Justin Ross Clarke is not quite your typical Singaporean youth. He had the privilege of attending schools in New Zealand, United Kingdom and the Australian International School in Singapore for most of his school life. Despite the privileges, he lacked one major component to an otherwise perfect life – a father-figure to look up to.
Growing up, Justin’s father was away most of the time due to the nature of his work. His parents went their separate ways when he was a young boy. His mother made many sacrifices just to give him a normal and well-adjusted childhood.
Justin, though, did not once complain about the lack of a normal family nucleus. In fact, he used it to his advantage to do well in his studies so that he could repay his mom’s sacrifices and kindness.
But he was almost derailed along the road of excellence. The usually top student became complacent and slacked off during his first year in secondary school at Fulford School (United Kingdom). He fared quite badly and it reflected clearly on his mother’s face. Although his mother did not reprimand him, this was enough to turn him around.
The Diploma in Infocomm Security Management (DISM) graduate, who scored a perfect GPA of 4.0, counts hard work, diligence, willingness to persevere and his mother’s love and guidance as the ingredients for his success. His overseas education also helped to broaden his horizon and shape his out-of-the-box thinking. Justin has been awarded the Lee Kuan Yew Award.
With this mindset and the desire to try new food as a result of being away from Singapore for a number of years, Justin and a friend set up the Food Connoisseur Club (FCC) in Singapore Polytechnic. He admits to being embarrassed about his limited knowledge of local cuisine and has made it his club’s mission to expose people like him to local food. Despite the initial stumbling blocks, the FCC is now a popular student club with more than 200 members and counting, all thanks to Justin’s determination in establishing the club.
Justin has accepted the offer to read Arts & Social Sciences at the National University of Singapore as he wishes to pursue his passion in humanities. He hopes to land a
career in the Armed Forces or the Police Force after university so that he can contribute meaningfully to society and provide a better life for his mother.

NIS Scholar 2009 - Tan Jingwei
Our DISM graduand (2006-2009), Tan Jingwei is en route to becoming the next infocomm leaders of Singapore. He has been awarded the National Infocomm Scholarship (NIS), a scholarship that recognises exceptional students and nurtures them as top talents for Singapore's infocomm industry.
He will receive tuition grants, exam fees, hostel funding and an annual allowance from this scholarship. He will also have the opportunity to go on a six-month overseas work attachment and understudy some leading professionals in the industry.
Jingwei cannot wait for 2011 to start his Bachelor in Computer Science degree with a major in security management at the Royal Holloway, University of London.
"The Royal Holloway is a prestigious school. It is well-known for its security management programmes so I'm really excited at the prospect of studying there," said Jingwei.
Jingwei (the third from left in photo) developed an interest in IT security when he was studying his Diploma in Infocomm Security Management at SP. He graduated with merit in the top 10 per cent of his cohort this year.
He said: "My training in SP has helped lay a good foundation and gave me exposure to hone my skills in security management. I'm very grateful to my lecturers who gave me lessons beyond the classroom context such as life skills, critical thinking and career guidance. All these helped to bring me a step closer to my dream job".
Jingwei wants to be a policy maker for infocomm security or a security management specialist in a multi-national corporation after he graduates.
