Comprehensive Cybersecurity Defense

Comprehensive Cybersecurity Defense (CCD) is a basic level course that provides an introduction to cybersecurity. Participants will learn how to protect network systems by survey of the following: planning and preparation of defenses; installation and administration of defenses; hardening network defenses; administration of defenses; monitoring defenses; and testing and modifying defenses— followed by a review of cybersecurity defenses and emerging trends.

PREREQUISITE: Participants should have some experience as a cybersecurity professional, a basic understanding of network concepts, and a basic understanding of computer operating systems.

PREFERRED PREREQUISITE: Experience as a system or network administrator

These courses utilize a blended learning approach that balances classroom lecture, hands-on laboratory exercises, and supplemental material. Solutions and methods taught are non-vendor-specific, which does not require participants to have specialized software when trying to implement class lessons at their own agencies. CDI stresses proper network and data engineering techniques and methodology over simple software packages, keeping agency financial requirements to a minimum.
