SEC406: Essential Linux Skills for the Security Professional

Linux is the operating system of millions of systems all around the world. No matter what area of cybersecurity you work in or the vertical you support, to do your job effectively you need to understand how Linux works and how to secure it. Skilled attackers certainly know how to use and operate in a Linux environment and love nothing more than to find your security tools running on improperly secured Linux boxes. SEC406 teaches the Linux essentials every security professional needs to know to run the many open-source tools that are crucial to doing your job.

SEC547: Defending Product Supply Chains

The threat landscape has changed, and gone are the days when erecting a strong perimeter is sufficient to keep adversaries at bay. Supply chain attacks are effective in bypassing traditional defenses because they act as a sort of “Maginot Line”, circumventing traditional controls and often inviting the adversary inside through the use of “trusted” technologies. SEC547 covers the overarching threat landscape and provides real-world examples of how these attacks work and why they are effective and outlines actionable takeaways for students to bring back to their own environments.

FOR548: eDiscovery - Tactics for Conquering the Data Minefield
Please provide your opinion about this course by answering this short survey

FOR548 teaches students the controls put in place to govern the eDiscovery process, where and how the data is stored and how best to satisfy the collection requirements imposed upon them and their organizations.

FOR577: Linux Incident Response & Analysis

Linux powers a vast range of business-critical systems across the globe. From webservers to database platforms, to network hardware to security appliances, Linux can often be found “under the hood” making sure the system just keeps working. This course gives incident responders and forensic investigators the knowledge they need to understand how the systems work, how attackers compromise environments and how to respond and investigate in an effective manner.

FOR589: Cybercrime Intelligence
Please provide your opinion about this course by answering this short survey

FOR589 teaches students how to hunt for Criminal Intelligence (CRIMINT) on the Dark Web and how to infiltrate adversary infrastructure through covert sock puppet accounts using advanced Human Intelligence (HUMINT) tradecraft. Analyze criminal “on-chain” financial transactions using Blockchain Intelligence (BLOCKINT) tools and learn how to identify, analyze, and extract cryptocurrency artifacts from criminal devices in computer and mobile forensics investigations.

SEC446: Hardware Assisted Hacking

Tightly packed with tips, techniques, and hands-on procedures, this course teaches the foundations of both hardware theory and hardware practice, as well as how they relate to hardware and software security.

SEC568: Combating Supply Chain Attacks with Product Security Testing

Supply chain attacks go unnoticed on average for 235 days and do more damage as a result of not having a deep understanding of the products being used on a network. Product Security tests help obtain a comprehensive understanding of how choosing to use a particular product in your organization can increase your attack surface and how your threat model and risk posture is affected. Product security testing is vital in preparing your organization to defend and recover from software supply chain attacks. This course acts as a practical on-ramp into the world of product security testing and risk analysis through over 20 hands-on exercises. By utilizing offensive tactics with a defensive mindset students will learn how to analyze the risk of introducing desktop, mobile, proprietary protocols and hardware devices into your environment using a wide variety of technical skills to gaining a deep understanding of how a target operates. On the last day, the students will conduct a guided 5 hour exercise where they will do black box analysis on a popular commercial application.

SEC598: Security Automation for Offense, Defense, and Cloud 

Learn how to break down an organization's security issues and define solutions to locally automate secure configurations, set a desired state configuration, deploy infrastructure as code in different environments, and detect and respond to security incidents in an automated manner.

SEC670: Red Team Ops - Windows Tool Development

Learn the essential building blocks for developing custom offensive tools through required programming, APIs used, and mitigations for techniques.
