Certified Threat Intelligence Analysis Manager

Intelligence allows analysts to gain tactical, operational, and strategic advantages for customers of their intelligence product. Converting overwhelming amounts of raw data into relevant and actionable intelligence also affords analytical teams the decision and competitive advantage necessary to successfully engage and defeat a diverse variety of threat actors in the physical world and cybersecurity environments. Using highly developed analytical skills, analysts can maximize the benefits and efficiency of their supporting technology and automation, and significantly increase the threat intelligence capabilities of their organization.

Certified Incident Investigations and Response Manager

As organizations continue to rely on expanding infrastructure in an increasingly hostile threat landscape, the escalation of incidents involving malicious actors poses critical risks to information systems and networks. The ability to identify threats, respond to incidents, restore systems, and enhance security postures is vital to the survival of the operation.  With a specific focus on the identification and remediation of incidents involving host and network devices, students will cover topics such as Threat Intelligence Collection, Investigative Techniques, Malware Triage, and Remediation Strategies. Immersive learning labs utilize a wide variety of critical industry tools and Wireshark network protocol analyzer software.

Certified Network Defense and Investigations Manager

As digital crime increases exponentially, the need for investigative expertise in both government and civilian sectors has increased proportionally as well. The Network Defense and Investigations Manager course provides students with methods and strategies to mitigate incident damage with efficient and effective response procedures, acquire crucial evidence in a forensically sound manner, identify and analyze the recovered evidence for relevant facts, and document and report details of the investigation. Students are presented with topics such as Enterprise Network Devices and Services, Identity and Access Management, Biometric Security, Evidence Collection and Chain of Custody, Data Analysis, and Reporting and Documentation requirements.

Certified Cybersecurity Defense and Operations Manager

Organizations face ongoing threats to their information technology infrastructure on a daily basis. These security struggles need to be approached with modern techniques, a holistic view of security, and a diverse body of knowledge. With the proper tools and training, specialists in the Information Security and Cybersecurity fields will be much more capable of finding success within their roles. Focusing on the Information Security concerns of today, students will cover topics such as Cloud Security, Threat Intelligence Analysis, Vulnerability Management, Biometric Systems, Incident Response, Securing Systems with Cryptography, and the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework. Immersive learning labs utilize a wide variety of critical industry tools and Wireshark network protocol analyzer software.

Certified Disaster Response and Recovery Manager

Business Continuity and Disaster Response and Recovery is the development of processes, policies, and procedures that prepare for and react to significant and unplanned operational disruptions. The Disaster Response and Recovery Manager course prepares students to successfully manage Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery missions. Facing daily risks to long-term success from a wide range of threats — cyber-attacks, human error, technical failures, and natural disasters — businesses must create practical plans to sustain their vital operations, security posture, industry reputation, and brand. Students will cover critical topics such as BCP Design, Risk Management, Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis, Asset Inventories, Recovery Site Workflows, Cloud Computing Agreements, and Cloud Security.
