Course Overview
Course Description:
The CSX Fundamentals Course is designed to provide an overview of this material, as well as to offer insight into the importance of cybersecurity and the integral role of cybersecurity professionals. This course will also cover four key areas of cybersecurity:
- cybersecurity architecture principles,
- security of networks, systems,
- applications and data,
- incident response
- the security implications of the adoption of emerging technologies.
Objectives
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course you should be able to:
- Define the key concepts, roles and domains of cybersecurity
- Define risk management terms, concepts and frameworks
- Identify common attack types and vectors
- Define the framework and guidance for policies and procedures
- Identify cybersecurity control processes
- Identify the various types of cybersecurity architecture
- Define the OSI Model
- Explain how various defense strategies work to control flow, segment the network and log, monitor and detect attacks
- Outline encryption fundamentals, techniques and applications
- Determine, assess and respond to risk and vulnerabilities on the network through penetration testing
- Identify key aspects and associated risks to securing data, applications, operation systems and the network
- Define incident response and handling methodologies
- Identify the basic concepts, practices, tools, tactics, techniques and procedures for processing digital forensic data
- Develop a disaster recovery and business continuity plan
- Identify the implications for adaption of evolving technology
Prerequisites
Pre-Assessment:
A pre-assessment provided to attendees will assist the instructor in determining the baseline
knowledge of participants, as well as any necessary demographic information. Results from the
pre-assessment should be used to help focus lecture and activities to be most meaningful to all
participants. The pre-assessment should include questions regarding:
- Level and years of information technology-related experience or other practicalexperience
- Knowledge or experience in the area of information security and cybersecurity
- Current title and role
- Enterprise specifics:
- Domestic or international
- Size and number of employees
- Industry
- Region (US or non-US)
- Educational background
- Degree in cybersecurity or a related field (if so, what)?
- What university did they attend?
