This course will teach you the fundamental principles of installing and configuring cybersecurity controls and participating in incident response and risk mitigation.

Study of the course can also help to build the prerequisites to study more advanced IT security qualifications, including CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CSA)+, CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP), and ISC’s CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional).

On course completion, you will be able to:

• 
  Identify network attack strategies and defenses.


• 
  Understand the principles of organizational security and the elements of effective security policies.


• 
  Know the technologies and uses of cryptographic standards and products.


• 
  Identify network- and host-based security technologies and practices.


• 
  Describe how wireless and remote access security is enforced.


• 
  Describe the standards and products used to enforce security on web and communications technologies.


• 
  Identify strategies for ensuring business continuity, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery.


• 
  Summarize application and coding vulnerabilities and identify development and deployment methods designed to mitigate them.

Lots of subject matter covered but having this course at our office meant we could also have it tailored and that added lots of value. Highly recommend go courses. J B Strawbridge

Mike was an excellent trainer and explained things very well. He listened to everything we needed to go through and addressed this. C Bowe
