Unleash Your Potential with the Cyber Career Foundations Program 

The pre-work prepares participants for career success. The assessment included in the pre-work will identify important information that helps identify the way to curate advice and content to support the success of each individual person who participates in the program. There is also an opportunity to think about the desire work role and specific knowledge, skills, and abilities that must be developed during and after the program.

Cybersecurity is one of many cost centers in an organization that does not directly add to profit but still costs money to operate. Instead of focusing on the cost of delivering security services, participants will learn how to measure and communicate the value produced from everything that security does to support success.

Risk management is a core security practice that contributes to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and services in an organization. Security professionals must understand the risk that exists. They must also ensure effective analysis and documentation of those risks to help drive effective responses that reduce risk to an acceptable level.

Organizations must apply standard and systematic approaches to ensure that scientific and engineering principles are applied in a standardized, repeatable, and efficient manner to identify vulnerabilities and minimize risks in the technology they use. This module focuses on security engineering principles that build security into the development and procurement lifecycle for the information systems, services, and applications used by the organization.

Well-defined security boundaries for the systems, services, and applications used by an organization help establish the scope of protection and prioritize the use of people, processes, and technologies as part of the security program. This module focuses on understanding how to establish boundaries and connections between distinct infrastructure used by the organization.

Availability is a key component of cybersecurity, and resilience focuses on an organization's ability to quickly adapt to disruptions while maintaining operations of critical systems, services, and data. This module focuses on essential practices for business impact analysis, business continuity planning, disaster recovery, and crisis management. 

More than 85% of targeted attacks use compromised credentials. This module focuses on the assurance level that must be established for identities and authenticators that ensure only authorized parties can access the systems, services, applications, and data of an organization. 

Encryption is a primary control for confidentiality, and cryptographic solutions increase the trustworthiness of global computing. This module focuses on key concepts related to encryption, digital signatures, digital certificates, hashing, and steganography solutions that support secrecy, non-repudiation, integrity, and other essential services in modern computing.

Data governance is a comprehensive approach that includes principles, practices and tools for creating, using, sharing, and destroying data and information used by an organization. This module focuses on regulatory requirements for data governance as well as effective practices for data and inventory mapping and data lifecycle management.

Understanding and responding to the exposures that an organization faces is an essential skill for all cybersecurity professionals. This module focuses on common threats, attacks, and vulnerabilities that organizations face. Participants will take a deep dive into threat modeling, vulnerability management, and defenses to address the most common attack methodologies. 

Confirming that an incident has occurred and responding properly with documented incident response procedures are essential cybersecurity practices. This module focuses on key activities in the incident handling process like preparation, detection and analysis, incident response, and post-incident activities. 

From cloud migration to blockchain adoption to generative AI, technology is constantly changing. This module focuses on essential practices that equip cybersecurity professionals to understand fundamental practices that support security for digital transformation regardless of what the future holds.
