Cybersecurity Academy Advanced Courses
Firewall Essentials, (more info)
This course introduces students to general defense strategies for enterprise security network architecture. Students will learn about the processes used for setting up security, networking, accounts, zones, and security policies of next generation firewalls. Students will also learn about technologies such as App-ID, WildFire, User ID, decryption, and logging procedures used to fortify and supplement the platform approach to enterprise network defense. Finally, students will learn about Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) technologies and services including Zero Trust Operations and Information Technology, SD WAN Instant-ON device integration, Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB), Cloud Secure Web Gateway (CSWG), and Autonomous Digital Experience Management (ADEM).
Cloud Security Automation, (more info)
Cyber-attacks against cloud network operations are increasing with intensity and have the potential to inflict wide-spread damage to business production and organization’s reputation. It is now more important than ever for security practitioners to understand the magnitude of the problem and employ solutions to defend cloud-based networks as well as to maintain trust with customers, partners, and shareholders. This course is designed to enhance student’s understanding of securing Cloud Computing technologies using an enterprise suite of services such as Cloud Native Application Protection Platform, with an emphasis on cloud container configurations that provide visibility of risks associated with deployment in public cloud and private data centers.
Security Operations Architecture, (more info)
This course provides the student with an overview of Security Orchestration and Response (SOAR) with Threat Intelligence collection including the roles they play in configuring the Security Operations Center (SOC) for automated protection of enterprise networks and critical infrastructure. Students will learn about continuous improvement processes designed to collect threat intelligence with contextual data, and to apply automated prevention workflow playbooks that quickly identify and respond to fast-evolving and dangerous cyber threats. Students will also learn how to leverage automation to reduce strain on analysts and configure the SOC to effectively hunt for, identify, and mitigate threats that circumvent traditional defense mechanisms.
