CYBER SECURITY ANALYSIS CERTIFICATE

In an advanced field like cyber security, it’s crucial to stay ahead of the ever-changing landscape of new technologies—and the new threats that come along with them. That’s why our practical, competency-based program moves you quickly away from classroom theory and into hands-on training where you’ll work to learn rather than learn to work.

The program culminates in an intensive, eight-hour simulation that mirrors a day in the life of a working security analyst, and tests everything you’ve learned, including your ability to work in a team with the other students in your cohort. You’ll come out the other side ready to take on any challenge and anticipate the next one.

Introduction to Security

In this class, you will be introduced to the core tools and technologies used by professionals to analyze cyber-attacks at a low level. There will be a heavy focus on the packet analysis tool Wireshark as well as the log analysis tool Splunk. You will also learn how to use a hex editor as well as some data decoding tools. What you get: The ability to demonstrate a base competency in packet and timeline analysis.

Tools and Technology

In this class, you will learn how to work an alert from initial triage to final resolution. As a part of triage, you will learn how to make risk-based decisions so you can prioritize work based on the potential impact. You will also work through some real-world examples and learn how to make recommendations on how to remediate the threat. What you get: The ability to make good, risk-based decisions and document your analysis for quality review.

Triage, Response, Analysis and Remediation

This final class in the cybersecurity program will test your ability to function in a real-life situation and validate your technical competency in a simulated workplace. You will be presented with a SOC Analyst’s daily workload and will be required to work through the alerts from triage to remediation. You will need to successfully work through at least three varying scenarios. What you get: An immersive, comprehensive reproduction of a day in the life of a working cyber security analyst, where you can put your new-found skills to the test.
