Cyber Training Bootcamp

This course delivers the required baseline training individuals need to become cybersecurity analysts. The course is comprised of in-classroom training, group projects and hands-on-keyboard labs. Each module is taught by an experienced cyber professional with military cyber operations and/or corporate cyber defense experience.
The first half of the course builds upon a participant's existing knowledge and experience from an information technology (IT) job role, computer-related bachelor degree, or other technical job role and gradually transitions to more of an operational mindset. The second half is the core of the program focusing on red team and blue team tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) as well as allowing guided lab time where participants can gain hands on experience. Completing with course wrap-up covering new and future topics in cybersecurity. Our curriculum is aligned to the NICE framework and includes input from industry leading Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs). Participant learning will be assessed through pre and post training assessments.
Participants may be existing employees wishing to advance their skills, new hires or military service members.
