LDR512: Security Leadership Essentials for Managers - Live Online

The move from practitioner to manager comes with a specific problem: your team now covers more ground than you ever worked in. You are accountable for cloud posture, application security, vulnerability management, and the SOC, and your credibility depends on knowing enough about each to ask a useful question.

LDR512 covers that ground in five days of live, virtual instruction. Broad on purpose, spanning governance, architecture, engineering, team leadership, and operations, and written on the assumption that you would rather understand a control than memorize its acronym. Roughly an hour each day goes to Cyber42, a running simulation where you select initiatives, spend a budget you do not have enough of, and live with the consequences.

During the Week, You'll Work Through:

  • 25 hands-on labs
  • 20 Cyber42 leadership challenges across four rounds
  • A risk calibration lab and a board briefing exercise
  • Scenarios covering shadow AI, a security misconfiguration, and an industry breach
  • Negotiation, resistance management, and cost-cutting decisions
  • A ransomware response round in the final section

Governing GenAI and Agentic AI

This course addresses generative and agentic AI security in depth in the engineering section, including LLM application architecture, the OWASP Top Ten for LLM and agentic applications, MITRE ATLAS, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. You’ll get 30 CPE credits for this course, and it’s aligned to the GIAC Security Leadership (GSLC) certification.

Who Should Take This Course?

Security managers and directors, information security officers, aspiring security leaders and CISOs, and practitioners taking on team lead responsibilities. It assumes a basic understanding of technology, networks, and security; if you are entirely new to the field, SEC301 is the better starting point.
