"Where Qualified CyberSecurity Education Happens"

Q/CND® Qualified/ Cyber Network Defense Professional Certificate Program of Mastery
(Linux, IDS I, II, III, Q/CND, Security+, CASP or CISSP + 1 Elective) CPoM

SU's Q/CND Qualified/ Cyber Network Defense and Offensive missions are threaded into the Network Cyber Defense Training classes. The mission is to master defensive scenarios to protect your networks from the hacker. This training is for those who seek qualified cyber network defense, cy ops and threat attack careers. The Q/CND Certificate Program of Mastery Program is an accredited program with related cyber micro credentials. 

SU training techniques are a perfect match for our military cyber defense workforce goals and cyber operations since they not only train the relevant concepts of cyber defense and its CND specialties but also in the case of Q|SA and Q|PTL courses challenge the students to apply those concepts in a tactical mastery level setting that an actual security analyst or penetration tester might see. SU also provides advanced training paths in topics such as network defense, penetration testing, exploitation, digital forensics, and software security that is tailored to the trainee's long‐term skills acquisition goals. The instruction is provided by proven leaders in the field and guarantees graduates have the immediately applicable skills to be relevant in the cyber fight. In my experience, few practitioners can apply the skills gained in a traditional immersion course into the workforce. Instructors have led, trained, and worked alongside with cyber professionals who have earned numerous industry certifications. However, it has been shown time and again that these certifications provide mere exposure without the critical analysis and creative thinking required to solve tough problems in our evolving cyberspace. SU addresses this shortcoming with their mastery level training model and apprenticeship.
