Security Program Regulatory Integration

In this 12-video course, learners will discover the importance of integrating regulations with organizational security policies. Explore security standards such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR); Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA); and Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), as well as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST). To begin, determine how to establish the importance of building regulatory compliance into a company's IT security program. You will then examine Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and Protected Health Information (PHI). This leads into the subject of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and what it entails. You will learn how HIPAA protects medical information; how GDPR protects European Union citizen data, and how the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), applies to financial institutions. You will also identify how FISMA strives to protect sensitive US Government information, and recognize both NIST and ISO security standards. To conclude the course, you will discover how the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), requires organizational financial transparency.

Risk Analysis: Security Risk Management

In this 14-video course, learners can explore security risk management concepts and discover how to assess, categorize, monitor, and respond to organizational risks. Examine key terms such as threats, vulnerabilities, impacts, and risks, and the steps involved in the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST), risk management framework (RMF). Begin by learning how risk relates to information systems, and look at the concepts of managing risks, differentiating between threats, vulnerabilities, impacts, and risks. Examine the first step of the NIST RMF, categorizing risk, and then the second RMF step, selecting security controls. Next, observe the third step, implementing security controls; the fourth step, assessing security control effectiveness; the fifth step, examining risk, and output of security controls assessment to determine whether or not the risk is acceptable; and the last step, monitoring controls. Recognize benefits of a control-focused risk management approach; the benefits of an event-focused risk management approach; and risk communication. Finally, explore risk response and remediation, and differentiating between different risk responses such as accepting, avoiding, mitigating, sharing, or transferring risk.

Cloud Security Administration: Infrastructure Planning

Cloud infrastructure consists of the physical location of the cloud data center. Depending on the data center location, there are different risks that are taken by the service provider and different methods used to tackle security issues. A secure cloud is created by using open source software and creating a technical support pool. Additionally, basic security concepts like protecting data in motion and in rest using encryption can be employed so that clients can only see their data. In this course, you'll learn about baselining cloud infrastructure, different components like hardware and software, and challenges faced in cloud environments.

CISM 2022: Secure Device & OS Management

IT departments must work in conjunction with higher-level management to determine when and how to securely use technological solutions that support the business strategy. In this course, begin by exploring how mobile device usage in a business environment can introduce risk and how that risk can be managed with centralized remote wipe capabilities. Then find out how Microsoft Intune can be used to centrally manage devices and how to securely wipe a disk partition. Learn how to harden Windows computers using Group Policy and disable the deprecated SSL network security protocol on Windows hosts. Next, investigate common digital forensics hardware and software solutions, as well as the storage area network (SAN) security and jump box solutions to manage hosts securely and remotely. Finally, discover how to manage Azure resources permissions using managed identities, examine device and OS hardening techniques, and investigate the importance of firmware and software patching. This course can be used to prepare for the Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) exam.

Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) 2019: Data Classification

This 12-video course explores the different roles played by data classification in the software development lifecycle. You will learn the differences between data owners and data custodians. While data remain the property of the enterprise or organization, data ownership is used to assign responsibility to the person who defines the requirements related to the data, and will manage the data day-to-day requirements. Data custodians are responsible for ensuring that security and access controls are configured and maintained properly. You will learn how labeling data adds extra data to describe the data being protected, which refers to metadata. This course focuses on two types of data, structured and unstructured, and the importance to the secure software lifecycle. Learners will recognize that data type is one of the key factors that determine how data should be secured. This course can be used in preparation for the (ISC)2 CSSLP: Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional certification exam.

Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) 2019: Testing Types

This 14-video course explores essential testing types-including penetration testing, scanning, simulation testing, failure testing, and cryptographic validation-and many of the best practices. You will also learn more about other types, such as fuzzing, regression testing, continuous testing, attack surface validation, and unit testing. Learn about certification testing-performed as part of a certification process, when load or stress testing determines how the system operates under heavy loads and what effect load has on the system. You will be introduced to ISECOM's Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual, a comprehensive methodology related to penetration and security testing, security analysis, and measuring operational security. It includes test cases whose outcomes provide verified facts, amounting to actionable information that can tangibly and measurably improve operational security. Become familiar with how to perform an impact assessment, learn why defects discovered during testing must be addressed, and learn the meaning of Priority and Severity levels derived from the defect report. The course prepares learners for the (ISC)2 CSSLP: Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional certification exam.
