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

An excellent choice to keep up with cybersecurity education
The field of information security is constantly evolving as new threats are discovered each day. Our consultants have to keep up with new knowledge and techniques to conduct pentesting, vulnerability remediation, computer forensic audits, and so on. Traditional training in cybersecurity is very expensive, lengthy, and lacks practical experience. When we found Infosec Skills we were impressed with the many themes available in their library, their focus, and also with the price, which is very economic in comparison with other alternatives. Also, their cyber ranges allow our employees to practice the skills needed in a very practical way. We are very happy to count on Infosec [Skills] as an educational ally.

Fantastic Product
Our security department is in its infancy and we use it daily to learn best practices and educate ourselves on tools that can be used to help secure our environment. There are a couple of staff members looking to obtain certifications and it's also used to prepare them for the test.
