Center for Qualified CyberSecurity Excellence & Mastery

"Where Qualified Cyber Education Happens"

Q/NDThis is the last class of the Q/ISP Qualified/ Information Security Professional Certification. It’s the class that shows you defensive scenario’s to protect your networks from the hacker attacks and internal misconfiguations, data breaches and compromises. If network defense certification and security skills assessment is your goal, this class teaches you network firewall & router monitoring and defense, deep packet analysis/ including IDS & IPS, DNA malware detection and re-engineering. You learn offense from a defensive position with a "5 step" best practice process to measure your network defense goals.

75% hands-on labs for improving risk at DMZs, internet facing connections, external partner connections, intranet traffic, and managing security breaches. This certification is all about "real life" network defense scenarios.

CLICK TO ROLL DOWN OUR CLASS SYLLABUS

Grades - All students must ordinarily take all quizzes, labs, final exam and submit the class practical in order to be eligible for a Q/ISP, Q/IAP, Q/SSE, or Q/WP credential with SU or another school unless granted an exception in writing by the President. Know that Q/ISP classes draws quite the spectrum of students, including "those less comfortable," "those more comfortable," and those somewhere in between. However, what ultimately matters in this course is not so much where you end up relative to your classmates but where you end up relative to yourself in on Friday of class. The course is graded as a pass or fail solely on your attendance and participation. Those less comfortable and somewhere in between are not at a disadvantage vis-à-vis those more comfortable. Escalating labs help you prepare for real world scenarios. Each labs escalates upon itself, increasing in intensity, rising to the next level, while you’re mitigating the threat step by step. All books are provided during class.
