Cybersecurity Fundamentals Workshop 4 Day

Overview

This hands-on 4 day course provides participants with a high-level overview of various aspects of Cybersecurity in the context of a modern and Internet-connected environment. Through lecture, hands-on exercises, and group discussion, students will gain a foundational perspective on the challenges of designing a cybersecurity program, implementing secure systems, and other factors needed for a comprehensive cybersecurity solution. Upon completion of this course, each participant will be able to define cybersecurity terminology, compliance requirements, review sample attacks, and gain an understanding of the impact of current threat trends on cybersecurity implementation. This course is one of the core courses of Lunarline’s Certificate Program in Cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity is one of the hottest issues for today’s Federal and DOD Agencies and commercial organizations. Developed and developing nations, governments, defense departments and industries, and organizations in critical infrastructure verticals are being increasingly targeted by never-ending surges of cyber attacks from criminals and nation-states seeking information, economic or military advantage. The rapidity of the attacks is now so large and their level of sophistication so great, that many organizations are finding it difficult to identify which threats and vulnerabilities pose the greatest risk. They are faced with decisions on how resources should be allocated to ensure that the most likely and potentially damaging attacks are dealt with first. Exacerbating the problem is that most organizations do not have complete understanding of cybersecurity or an organizational approach to dealing with the challenges.

Every student participating in Lunarline’s Cybersecurity Foundations course will receive a certificate for successful participation in the course, which will allow students to claim 40 hours of Continuous Professional Experience for their existing certifications.

Lunarline's Cybersecurity Fundamentals classes include the following takeaway items: A printed training manual, a CD with a comprehensive set of NIST - approved templates, as well as copies of the guidelines, instructions, standards, and presentations discussed during the training. You will also receive a copy of the book, "The Definitive Guide to the C&A Transformation" co-authored by Lunarline's VP of Cybersecurity and CEO.

This course is currently under development. Please check back in late 2011.
