711 Cyber Instructional Curriculum Developer Advanced KSAT Journey

Today, technology drives efficiency in business by making it easier for people to work together. Discover collaboration solutions including public folders, distribution groups, scheduling, and linked and site mailboxes.

A key component IS auditing professionals evaluate is an organization's IS management activities. Discover key IS management elements, roles, responsibilities and risk factors, and information security control design best practices.

Various laws, regulations, and security best practices require network traffic coming in and out of IT services to be controlled. In this course, you'll learn how to implement techniques to ensure the precious IT assets within your organization's network are secure. You'll begin by exploring what the IPsec network security protocol does and how it's employed. You'll then examine various types of firewalls and decipher when they should be used. Next, you'll work with correctly setting up Windows Defender Firewall, Linux firewall settings, and cloud-based packet filtering rules. Lastly, you'll practice hardening a Wi-Fi network and forging network traffic. This course is one of a collection of courses that prepares learners for the Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certification.

Regardless of the guidance that one is following as a security professional, one common theme is that architects must be held to a high ethical standard based on their responsibility to manage risk to all assets. In this course, you will explore the International Information System Security Certification Consortium (ISC2) Code of Professional Ethics. Then you will discover organizational codes of ethics, which establish an integral aspect of a mission and model adopted by an organization. Finally, you will focus on the Five Pillars of information security - confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity, and non-repudiation. This course helps prepare learners for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam.

Security governance is the set of practices exercised by executive management to offer strategic direction, ensuring that objectives are achieved, determining that risks are managed properly, and verifying that the organizations' resources are used responsibly. Begin this course by discovering how to align security governance with organizational goals and objectives. Then you will explore organizational processes like acquisitions, divestitures, and governance committees, as well as organizational roles and responsibilities. You will investigate security control frameworks like including the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and learn about due diligence, due care, cybercrimes, and data breaches. Next, you will examine licensing and intellectual property requirements, import and export controls, transborder data flow, and privacy-related issues. Finally, you will focus on contractual, legal, industry standards and regulatory requirements. This course helps prepare learners for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam.

Security risk management involves the continual process of identifying security risks and implementing strategy and tactics to mitigate them. It is a vital component of any organization's strategy to protect its assets, ensure regulatory compliance, maintain operational continuity, and safeguard its reputation. Begin this course by exploring threat and vulnerability identification, as well as risk analysis, assessment, and response. Next, you will discover control categories, types, and assessments. Then you will investigate continuous monitoring and measurement and risk management reporting. Finally, you will examine continuous improvement and risk frameworks as you gain the essential skills to protect and secure your organization's critical resources. This course helps prepare learners for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam.

For the CISSP exam, one must be able to understand a variety of security design principles and practices. The topics in this course cover the following Domain 3 objectives: research, implement, and manage engineering processes using secure design principles and understand the fundamental concepts of security models. Begin by exploring the importance of least privilege and defense in depth to create multi-layered security defenses and restrict access to sensitive information. You will then look at concepts of segregation of duties (SOD), keeping it simple and small, and privacy by default and design. Next, you will consider how the shared responsibility model is crucial for participants to grasp the roles and accountability in cloud and collaborative environments. You will also explore threat modeling techniques to identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential security threats. Finally, you will compare zero trust vs. trust, explore the secure access service edge (SASE) framework, and consider the fundamental concepts of security models such as Bell-LaPadula, Biba, Star, and Clark-Wilson. This course helps prepare learners for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam.

In the digital era, understanding network protocols and their impact on performance is crucial for IT professionals tasked with maintaining robust and efficient communication systems. This course is the first of two courses that cover a large part of CISSP Domain 4. In this course the learner will focus on several aspects of secure design principles in network architectures including OSI and TCP/IP protocols for IPv4 and IPv6, secure protocols, multilayer protocol implications, converged protocols, transport architectures, performance metrics, and traffic flows. This course helps prepare learners for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam.

In today's increasingly complex threat landscape, securing physical sites and facilities is paramount for safeguarding assets, data, and personnel. This course covers secure design principles in network architectures beginning with an exploration of physical and logical segmentation and microsegmentation. Next you will dig into edge networks, including peering and ingress/egress. You will compare types of wireless networks and explore cellular and mobile networks. Next you will discover the roles of content distribution networks (CDNs), software-defined networks (SDNs), and virtual private clouds (VPCs) in security design. Finally, you will explore security monitoring and management. This course helps prepare learners for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam.

A security audit is a comprehensive assessment of an organization's information systems. Typically, they measure the systems and applications against an audit checklist of industry best practices, externally established standards, and/or federal regulations. In this course, differentiate internal, external, and third-party auditing and learn about locations for auditing and controls testing, the purpose of a vulnerability assessment, and the basics of penetration testing. Next, explore log reviews and log data, code review and testing techniques, and compare synthetic transactions, benchmark, and misuse case testing. Finally, examine coverage analysis concepts, compare interface testing methods, and discover the purpose of compliance checks. This course helps prepare learners for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam.
