Q/CDA® Qualified/ Cyber Defense Analyst Certification Class w/exam

SU's Q/CND Qualified/ Cyber Network Defense and Offensive missions are threaded into the Network Cyber Defense Analyst Training classes. The mission is to master defensive scenarios to protect your networks from the hacker. This training is for those who seek qualified cyber network defense, cy ops and threat attack careers. The Q/CND Certificate Program of Mastery Program is an accredited program with related cyber micro credentials.

SU training techniques are a perfect match for our military cyber defense workforce goals and cyber operations since they not only train the relevant concepts of cyber defense analyst nd its CND specialties but also in the case of Q|SA and Q|PTL courses challenge the students to apply those concepts in a tactical mastery level setting that an actual security analyst or penetration tester might see. SU also provides advanced training paths in topics such as network defense, penetration testing, exploitation, digital forensics, and software security that is tailored to the trainee's long-term skills acquisition goals. The instruction is provided by proven leaders in the field and guarantees graduates have the immediately applicable skills to be relevant in the cyber fight. In my experience, few practitioners can apply the skills gained in a traditional immersion course into the workforce. Instructors have led, trained, and worked alongside with cyber professionals who have earned numerous industry certifications. However, it has been shown time and again that these certifications provide mere exposure without the critical analysis and creative thinking required to solve tough problems in our evolving cyberspace. SU addresses this shortcoming with their mastery level training model and apprenticeship.

Real-Time Tools and Methodologies for Discovering and Reacting to Network Intrusion Attempts
An essential component in any comprehensive enterprise security program is the ability to detect when your networks or systems are being probed or attacked, or have been compromised in some manner. Intrusion detection systems give you this critical monitoring capability. In this up-close, 40 hr 1 wk + 32 hr pre-study class look at intrusion detection systems (IDS), you’ll get a firm grip on everything from the leading IDS systems and attack signatures to creating a Threat Management Procedure. You will learn about the different types of intrusion detection systems, how they operate, how they should be managed, how and where they should be deployed, who the players are, and whether IDS is something that should be outsourced or kept in-house. After installing multiple IDS solutions, you will benefit from a demonstration of hacker attack methodologies and see for yourself how IDS can help to detect them. You will explore new directions in the IDS arena that promise to make intrusion detection systems easier to manage and a more effective part of your information security strategy. Through a wide array of exciting hands-on exercises you will not only install and configure IDS systems but you will observe first-hand many hacker “attacks” and exploits and how they appear to IDS systems. Implementation exercises will include of a representative sample of the latest IDS tools will include a combination of both freeware and commercial IDS tools. You will have the opportunity to create real attack scenarios to see how and learn from the best how to detect, read, react, and defend your network against from serious attacks
