CCNA Cybersecurity Operations

This course provides enhanced training and skillsets
required for the Certified Cisco Entry Networking
Technician (CCENT) designation for network security
professionals. The curriculum provides an introduction
to core security concepts and skills needed for
installation, troubleshooting, and monitoring of
network devices to maintain the integrity,
confidentiality, and availability of data and devices.
Certification: 200-201 CBROPS
Vendor: CISCO
RELATED INSTRUCTION

Computer Forensics

This course surveys the principles and practices required to obtain

and preserve evidence in a computer forensics investigation
including computer forensic tools, incident and crime-scene
processing, digital evidence control, and reporting.

Certification: EC-Council’s Certified Hacking Forensic Investigator

(CHFI)
RELATED INSTRUCTION

Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+)

This course covers the information and skillsets necessary for

responding to cybersecurity threats and attacks, including the
application of environmental reconnaissance techniques such as OS
fingerprinting, e-mail harvesting, and social media profiling using
various tools (e.g., Nmap, netstat, and Syslog). Training enables the
participant to analyze the results of network reconnaissance,
recommend or implement countermeasures, and secure a corporate
environment by scanning for vulnerabilities. The course incorporates
response strategies for cyber incidents such as using a forensics
toolkit, maintaining the chain of custody, and analyzing the severity
of an incident.

Certification: PCNSA, PCCET Vendor: CompTIA

RELATED INSTRUCTION

System Security Certified Practitioner

This course provides an overview of internationally accepted

guidelines and protocols related to seven security domains: access
controls; security operations and administration; risk identification,
monitoring, and analysis; incident response and recovery;
cryptography; network and communications security; and systems
and application security.

Certification: SSCP Vendor: ISC2

RELATED INSTRUCTION

Ethical Hacking

This course emphasizes the techniques and methodologies applied for

security-penetration testing. It includes hands-on instruction in various
tools and methods used to analyze an information system to discover
vulnerabilities and protect against information loss, cyber terrorism,
and corporate espionage. The course provides an overview of
fundamental security testing concepts, practical skillsets related to
computer programming, and techniques to properly document a
security test. In addition to exploring the legal and ethical
ramifications of penetration testing, the student develops the ability
to apply appropriate countermeasures that reduce the risk to an
organization.

Certification: CEH Vendor: EC-Council

RELATED INSTRUCTION

Firewall Services and Cybersecurity Essentials (unregistered only)

This course surveys the fundamental tenants of cybersecurity and the general
security concepts involved in maintaining a secure network computing
environment. The student explores the nature and scope of today’s
cybersecurity challenges and applies various network-defense strategies.
Detailed information about next-generation cybersecurity solutions is included,
allowing the student to deploy a variety of security methodologies,
technologies, and concepts involved in implementing a secure network
environment. The curriculum focuses on the information and skillsets required to
install, configure, and manage firewalls for defense of enterprise network
architecture. The student applies the theory and configuration steps for setting
up the security, networking, threat-prevention, logging, and reporting features
of next-generation firewall technologies.
