CSX Level 1 Certification Training Course

The first course in the CSX Practitioner 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, students will learn how to apply industry-developed, experience-based methods to the identification of key networks and learn to develop appropriate protection mechanisms.

The Identify domain teaches students to recognize, assess and remediate specific internal and external network threats.

The Protect domain offers instruction in the basic concepts, methods, and tools associated with implementing cybersecurity controls to protect a system from the identified threats.

Course Learning Objectives

Provide students with an environment to discuss and practice methods implemented by cybersecurity professionals in the Identify and Protect domains. Ensure students develop into complimentary team members for enterprises who are workforce ready.

Target Audience

Individuals in the field of cybersecurity who are interested in learning hands-on technical skills.
