A CSX Practitioner certification demonstrates learner’s ability to serve as a first responder during cyber incident, following established procedures, defined processes and working mostly with known problems on a single system. Learners will show that they have firewall, patching and anti-virus experience and can implement common security controls, perform vulnerability scans and some analysis.
There would be three hands-on training courses which CGRC will be offering in teaching the skills needed at the CSX Practitioner level. Each course is 5 days and combines lecture with at least 50% hands-on lab exercise in a virtual cyber lab environment.
CSX | Practitioner Level 1: Identification and Protection
The first course in the series focuses on key cybersecurity skills and includes foundational, real-world instruction in the Identify and Protect domains. Topics range from preliminary network scanning to security control implementation. Through the completion of multiple lab-reinforced modules, learner will learn how to apply industry-developed, experience-based methods to the identification of key networks and learn to develop appropriate protection mechanisms utilizing the basic concepts, methods and tools associated with cybersecurity controls.
CSX | Practitioner Level 2: Detection
The second course in the series goes deeper into skills focused in the Detect domain. Learners will learn the basic concepts, methods and tools used to leverage cybersecurity controls in order to identify system events and non-event level incidents. By completing multiple lab-reinforced modules, learner will gain the skills necessary to detect potential network events and incidents. Topics range from incident packet analysis to IR report drafting and generation.
CSX | Practitioner Level 3: Respond and Recover
The final course in the Practitioner series provides hands-on instruction in the Respond and Recover domains. With course lecture backed up by lab sequences, learners will how to apply professional methodology to respond and recover from network incidents or disasters. You’ll learn how to contain an event and protect assets and infrastructure and you’ll discover the components and procedures required for a comprehensive incident response plan.
