Module 1: Computer/Network Technology/Security Foundations
Cybersecurity is built on a foundation of core technical skills, and Module 1 of this cyber security course establishes those essentials. We begin with understanding computer components and move to operating systems and virtualization, forming the groundwork for managing IT environments. Networking fundamentals and network devices like firewalls are introduced to build confidence in designing and securing networks, which is crucial for anyone pursuing ISSO training or aiming to become a security controls assessor.
This foundation is critical to success in subsequent modules.
Week 1:
Focus: Explore computer hardware and electronic components such as motherboards, CPUs, memory, and virtualization. Learn the basics of operating systems and servers.
Week 2:
Focus: Master networking fundamentals, including the OSI model, networking technologies, and devices like firewalls.
Week 3:
Focus: Understand internet architecture (DNS, HTTP, TCP/IP) and web server concepts. Gain foundational database knowledge, including structure, SELECT statements, and security.
Week 4:
Focus: Learn encryption basics, including public/private keys and hashing. Grasp core security principles, such as the CIA triad and physical/logical/management security.
Module 2: Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO) Basics
This module continues with security technology fundamentals but uses that platform to move the student into the job of helping secure information systems by utilizing information assurance principles for government systems. We will familiarize ourselves with the Federal Information Security Management Act and the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidance on how information systems are to be secured in the federal government space. This cyber security course will equip you with essential skills for the role of a security controls assessor. Some of the skills taught in this module: Week 1: Focus: Review cybersecurity terminology and revisit Internet/network security concepts to understand their application in ISSO training roles. Learn to confidently interpret network diagrams. Week 2: Focus: Study access control protection (passwords, tokens, MFA) and advanced cryptography (steganography, data infiltration/exfiltration). Dive into effective incident response strategies. Week 3: Focus: Learn to interpret security policies and contingency planning, including Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and recovery technologies like backups. Week 4: Focus: Get hands-on with NIST SP 800-53 controls. Practice writing Systems Security Plans (SSPs) for Major Applications (MA) and General Support Systems (GSS). The step-by-step, scenario-driven teaching approach we use will enable you to grasp the information presented, even if some of the topics are new to you. You will learn real-world cyber security fundamentals to serve as the foundation of your career skills.
Module 3: Security Controls Assessor (SCA) Basics and Job Hunting
This module takes the ISSO training and the role of a security controls assessor, leveraging everything you have learned so far to evaluate IT systems against the criteria found in the NIST SP 800-53A. This assessment companion to the NIST SP 800-53 is critical for ISSOs. The responsibility of evaluating the IT system falls on the security control assessor. This module will build on your skills from the previous module in security plan writing and interpreting agency IT policies, but it will focus heavily on 'relearning' how to read and write for assessment purposes in the context of a cyber security course.
Week 1:
Focus: Understand the role of security controls assessors (SCAs) and how to evaluate IT systems using NIST SP 800-53A. Learn to assess system controls based on ISSO-prepared plans.
Week 2:
Focus: Hone your skills in reading and interpreting guidance, requesting artifacts, and synthesizing findings into Security Assessment Reports (SARs) and Accreditation Letters.
Week 3:
Focus: Build effective communication and interviewing skills. Learn to collaborate with subject matter experts (SMEs), eliminate unnecessary noise, and focus on pertinent details during evaluations.
Week 4:
Focus: Transition into job preparation. Learn to interpret job boards, tailor resumes, and rebrand yourself for roles in IT security.
You will also discover the most effective methods of synthesizing information to present it in a clear and concise manner to the reader.
The second part of this module will connect what you have learned directly to securing a job. We will explore how to read job boards and position descriptions to assess your fit for specific roles. Each student will be 'rebranded' based on their comfort levels and skill sets into new security professionals.
