Certified Cyber Security Specialist - Virtual Learning

Why Attend

This course will provide participants with in-depth knowledge and practical skills to plan, deliver and protect, and monitor Digital assets, and Cyber security postures of internal and external systems, applications, and deployments. Encompassing a complete, conjoined set of disciplines in the areas of Cyber Security, including Policies, Play-books, Security/Penetration Testing, Ethical Hacking and Black Hat Hacking.

The 2022 updated course now also includes an extensive set of features which encompass the SOC (Security Operations Centre), CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Team), and Dark Art OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) elements. Included here are over 30 tools, books, articles, and support mediums to help the delegates gain in-depth expertise in this specialized discipline.

We will also cover WiFi security and engineering in depth, Malware defenses, Ransomware attacks, Website security, human factors, Cyber Forensics and Investigations, cyber security team management

As part of the course, participants engage multiple hands-on sessions, and conduct a risk assessment of two different deployments based on the ISO27001 to identify any direct, or indirect threats, security exposures, or potentials for vulnerabilities. Participants will also respond to an example security incident and identify the best practices which could be applied to secure their own organization, and associated assets. All participants will be given copies of Run Books to deal with cyber extortions, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS/DoS) and forensic investigations.

The 2022 course now also includes a real-time hands-on module which will footprint a digital deployment to discover and exposures, vulnerabilities, data leaks or technical misconfigurations – here again introducing 4 new tools to the course.
