What you'll learn
Training overview
Securing the United States against cyber-attacks has become one of the nation’s highest priorities. To achieve this objective, networks, systems, and the operations teams that support them must vigorously defend against external attacks. Furthermore, for those external attacks that are successful, defenses must be capable of thwarting, detecting and responding to follow-on attacks on internal networks as attackers spread inside a compromised network.
This group of 20 crucial controls is designed to begin the process of establishing a prioritized baseline of information security measures and controls that can be applied across enterprise environments. Fifteen of these controls can be monitored, at least in part, automatically and continuously. Five controls are essential but do not appear to be able to be monitored continuously or automatically with current technology and practices.
Who should attend
- Information security professionals
- Network administrators
- System architects and engineers
- IT and security managers
- Anyone looking to learn about critical security controls
