Certified in Cybersecurity (CC): Security Best Practices & Security Awareness
A mature and successful organization will follow guidance and best practices to better secure all resources. Stakeholders at every level must understand their roles and responsibilities for contributing to a secure environment. In this course, the learner will begin by exploring common security policies, including acceptable use policies (AUPs) and remote access policies. You will then review the processes of configuration and change management. Finally, you will explore security awareness programs and topics, and the security awareness training life cycle. This course prepares learners for the (ISC)2 Certified in Cybersecurity exam.

Secure Programmer: Intro to Programming Standards
In this course, learners can explore various IEEE programming standards, software requirement types, and requirements gathering techniques. Discover how software quality is defined and steps to take in the change management process. Begin this 10-video course with an introduction to basic programming and software engineering concepts. Then move on to a three-part tutorial on programming standards-part A on recalling IEEE programming standards including general, testing and quality, and maintenance and documentation standards; part B on IEEE standards, including NIST SP 800-27, ISO/IEC 15504 and 24744:2014, and ISO 29110; and part C on recalling IEEE and ISO programming standards. This leads into identifying software requirement types, the functionality, usability, reliability, performance, and supportability (FURPS) model, and the requirements gathering techniques. Next, you will explore requirements gathering techniques such as brainstorming, interviews, focus groups, and reverse engineering, and examine quality and the change management process. In the final tutorial, learners observe how to apply the IEEE Std 730 standard for software quality.

Secure Programmer: Software Design Techniques
In this 13-video course, learners will discover a range of software engineering techniques used to design software. This includes modular, resiliency, architectural, component-level, model-driven, and pattern-based design. You will also explore how to identify well-designed code and script. Learners begin by observing modular design, which starts with the premise that code should be encapsulated into independent modules. This leads into learning about resiliency design. The various design approaches examined here are not mutually exclusive, and can be used together, particularly resiliency design, which often goes hand in hand with other design approaches to augment and enhance them. Next, study architectural design, with a look at the architecture process and how to apply it. Following on from this, you will learn how to apply both component-level design and pattern-based design. You will delve into Well Designed Java Example, and explore what makes it well designed. Also, Well Designed Python Example, which contains some nuances not common to other languages. Well Designed C# Example, Well Designed Javascript, and model-driven design are also covered.

Secure Programmer: Software Modeling Techniques
This course extensively covers Unified Modeling language (UML), which is commonly used in software engineering to help design, understand, and work with software. It can be considered one of the core tools in a software engineer's toolbox. In this 6-video course, learners will delve into specific UML diagrams in order to obtain a deeper understanding, and some of which users will be able to use in their own software design. These diagrams will include class diagrams, activity diagrams, use case diagrams, and sequence diagrams. Next, follow an overview of Systems Modeling language (SysML), which is similar to UML but broader, so not only can it be used for software, but it can also be used for hardware, networks, or any system. Then discover how it can be used. In the final tutorial in this course, you will take a look at specific SysML diagrams, including block definition diagrams, internal block diagrams, and parametric diagrams.
