This course is intended for
This course is designed primarily for cybersecurity practitioners preparing for
or who currently perform job functions related to protecting information systems
by ensuring their availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and
non-repudiation. It is ideal for those roles within federal contracting
companies and private sector firms whose mission or strategic objectives require
the execution of Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) or DoD Information Network
(DoDIN) operation and incident handling. This course focuses on the knowledge,
ability, and skills necessary to provide for the defense of those information
systems in a cybersecurity context, including protection, detection, analysis,
investigation, and response processes.
Overview
In this course, you will identify, assess, respond to, and protect against
security threats and operate a system and network security analysis platform.
You will:
Assess cybersecurity risks to the organization.
Analyze the threat landscape.
Analyze various reconnaissance threats to computing and network environments.
Analyze various attacks on computing and network environments.
Analyze various post-attack techniques.
Assess the organization's security posture through auditing, vulnerability
management, and penetration testing.
Collect cybersecurity intelligence from various network-based and host-based
sources.
Analyze log data to reveal evidence of threats and incidents.
Perform active asset and network analysis to detect incidents.
Respond to cybersecurity incidents using containment, mitigation, and recovery
tactics.
Investigate cybersecurity incidents using forensic analysis techniques.
This course covers network defense and incident response methods, tactics, and
procedures that are in alignment with industry frameworks such as NIST 800-61r2
(Computer Security Incident Handling Guide), US-CERT's National Cyber Incident
Response Plan (NCIRP), and Presidential Policy Directive (PPD)-41 on Cyber
Incident Coordination. It is ideal for candidates who have been tasked with the
responsibility of monitoring and detecting security incidents in information
systems and networks, and for executing standardized responses to such
incidents. The course introduces tools, tactics, and procedures to manage
cybersecurity risks, defend cybersecurity assets, identify various types of
common threats, evaluate the organization's security, collect and analyze
cybersecurity intelligence, and remediate and report incidents as they occur.
This course provides a comprehensive methodology for individuals responsible for
defending the cybersecurity of their organization. This course is designed to
assist students in preparing for the CertNexus CyberSec First Responder (Exam
CFR-410) certification examination. What you learn and practice in this course
can be a significant part of your preparation. In addition, this course and
subsequent certification (CFR-410) meet all requirements for personnel requiring
DoD directive 8570.01-M position certification baselines:
CSSP Analyst
