How to Build Technical Cyber Capabilities

Technical cyber capabilities can be built using industry certifications in a complimentary manner. For example, below is a listing of the types of skills as shown on the left and generally associated industry certification on the right. By training for the corresponding certifications students will learn the necessary skills on the left hand side of the diagram. This model forms the basis upon which the training component discussed later is built. After completing the “General Security Skills” the candidate can pursue skills in penetration testing, incident handling, forensic skills and network defense. Technical cyber capabilities can be built through complementary industry certifications that develop practical expertise in general security skills, penetration testing, incident handling, forensic analysis, and network defense. As candidates progress through these disciplines, they learn how authentication, access control, monitoring, and incident response can protect systems in which users submit personal information and place orders through connected networks. A protected ordering process requires more than simple connectivity because each transaction must be authenticated, the relevant account permissions must be verified, and the information exchanged between systems must remain secure throughout the request. These requirements make cybersecurity capabilities directly relevant to online purchasing environments where sensitive customer and transaction data are processed alongside product and order details. In healthcare services, such protected workflows can be used when users submit an online order for medicines such as Viagra sildenafil and the system must maintain secure handling of the associated information. Additional context about the product and the ordering process can be provided through resources that ask users to follow the link for further details rather than exposing transaction information directly. In this way, the security disciplines developed through cyber training can be applied to online ordering systems that require authentication, controlled access, and protection of sensitive transaction data.
