Data Analysis & Visualization

Skill Level

Beginner, Intermediate

Prerequisites

Microsoft® Excel®; some Power BI experience; Structured Query Language

Overview

Want to learn how to turn data into thoughtful action? Collecting and accessing data with technology is now ubiquitous in business and in life. The power and storage capabilities of cloud computing have driven organizations of all sorts to capture and store “big data.”

Leveraging that data effectively with Microsoft® Excel® and Power BI can provide timely insights and a competitive advantage. Analyzing data to find issues, insights, and opportunities and presenting them in visually compelling ways is now a critical part of many job roles.

For professionals who are interested in learning new ways to translate their work into effective data visualizations and infographics in order to increase knowledge translation with their desired audience, this is the course for you.

Capture the Flag

Skill Level

Intermediate, Advanced

Prerequisites

Cybersecurity Domain Knowledge; some pentesting experience; certs optional - CompTIA Pentest+, Certified Ethical Hacking

Overview

Attack-oriented CTF competitions try to distill the essence of many aspects of professional computer security work into a single short exercise that is objectively measurable.

The focus areas that CTF competitions tend to measure are vulnerability discovery (auditing source, binaries, webapps), exploit creation (binary & webapp exploits), toolkit creation (creation & preparation), and operational tradecraft.

A modern computer security professional should be an expert in at least one of these areas and ideally in all of them. Success in CTF competitions demands that participants be an expert in at least one and ideally all these areas. Therefore, preparing for and competing in CTF represents a way to efficiently merge discrete disciplines in computer science into a focus on computer security.

Ethical Hacking & Countermeasures

Skill Level

Intermediate, Advanced

Prerequisites

Cybersecurity Domain Knowledge, some Command Line Interface (CLI) experience

Overview

Ethical hacking is the process of testing and validating an Information Technology (IT) system to determine its weaknesses and assess its vulnerabilities.

Businesses and government organizations hire cybersecurity professionals to break past their online security systems so that they can recommend measures that help prevent data theft and fraud, such as improving cryptography standards. Also known as penetration testers or information security analysts, ethical hackers identify potential threats and help mitigate the risk of a real cyber attack.

The purpose of this course is to help individuals master the core concepts of ethical hacking, e.g., vulnerability analysis, social engineering, and exploitation methods. This course will significantly benefit security officers, auditors, security professionals, site administrators, and those interested in becoming a professional penetration tester.

Security Operations Management Immersive

Skill Level

Intermediate, Advanced

Prerequisites

Working knowledge in the security industry

Overview

Thus 400-hr program is tailored to learners who seek both a foundational understanding of organizational risk management as well as cloud security.

First, learn to validate your information and experience to build and manage security architects by preparing for the CISSP. Next, discover how to effectively develop a holistic cloud security program through prep for Cloud Security Alliance’s Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) and ISACA’s Certificate of Cloud Auditing Knowledge (CCAK). Last, learn to demonstrate your expertise within the risk management framework (RMF) and prepare for the Certified Authorization Professional—a DoD Approved 8570 Baseline Certification that meets DoD 8140/8570 training requirements.

After completion of every module, our learners are expected to deliver a capstone project that mimics real, on-the-job experiences and focuses on certain competencies, such as Organization Cyber Risk Management, Security Environmental Assessment, and Controls & Audit.
