SUMMARY:Cybersecurity Proactive Defense (CPD)
DESCRIPTION:Cybersecurity Proactive Defense (CPD) is an intermediate level course that uses hands-on computer lab applications to simulate advanced attack vectors\, sequential and escalating attack steps\, and hands-on attack execution. Students learn penetration testing skills\, defense analysis techniques\, and real-time response and threat mitigation steps. \nPREREQUISITE: Two years of experience as a system/network administrator or as a cybersecurity professional is preferred. A basic understanding of network concepts\, along with general knowledge of computer operating systems\, is required. Experience with handling cyber incidents is preferred. \nAs our nation’s critical infrastructure grows more reliant on information technologies\, it also becomes more exposed to cyber-attacks\, both foreign and domestic. These attacks can threaten our nation’s economy\, public works\, communication systems\, computer networks\, and all other critical infrastructure. To counter this threat\, the Criminal Justice Institute’s Cybersecurity Defense Initiative (CDI) has developed courses delivered at no cost to technical personnel working within our nation’s critical infrastructure. 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\nengineering techniques and methodology over simple software packages\, keeping agency financial requirements to a minimum. REGISTER TODAY FOR THIS FREE TRAINING! \nCYBERSECURITY DEFENSE INITIATIVE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES\nJUNE 27-30\, 2022\nAuburn University at Montgomery\n75 TechnaCenter Drive\nMontgomery\, AL 36117 \nThis program is supported by cooperative agreement EMW-2018-CA-00071 administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)\, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)\, Training and Education Division.
