Cybersecurity Foundations Training:
Cybersecurity Foundations Training Course with real-world hands-on exercises (Online, Onsite, and Classroom Live)
In this Cybersecurity Foundations Training course, you will gain a global perspective of the challenges of designing a secure system, touching on all the cyber roles needed to provide a cohesive security solution. Through lectures, labs, and breakout discussion groups, you will learn about current threat trends across the Internet and their impact on organizational security.
With Cybersecurity Foundations Training, you will also review standard cybersecurity terminology and compliance requirements, examine sample exploits, and gain hands-on experience mitigating controls. In a contained lab environment, you will work with live viruses, including botnets, worms, and Trojans.
In addition to technical Cybersecurity components, you will learn and explore the non-technical aspects of cybersecurity necessary to mitigate risk and lessen exposure, including risk management, threat determination, disaster recovery, security policy management, and business continuity planning. This Cybersecurity Foundations course provides an excellent foundation for those proceeding to CISSP, CEH, CISA, or CISM training.
