UPDATED NIST CYBERSECURITY TRAINING
NIST Cybersecurity Framework Certification Exams

The LRS NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NCSF) Practitioner Training course has been updated to the current 2.2 version. The updates now include a section discussing details of the unprecedented, headline-grabbing SolarWinds/Russian SVR APT attack.

The SolarWinds supply chain attack took place after hackers broke into SolarWinds' backend infrastructure and added malware (named Sunburst/Solorigate) to SolarWinds Orion update packages. Learn more about how you can design or improve your cybersecurity program following the principles of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework by attending one of our instructor-led NCSF training courses.

The course and lectures were fantastic. I wish I would have all my guys from IT (Sys Admins, IT Director) attend this course with you.  - Student

CICSO (logo)

CISCO CERTIFIED NETWORK ASSOCIATE (CCNA)

Cisco updated the CCNA exam one year ago so that candidates only need to take one exam (200-301 CCNA). During that past year we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of students attending the Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA) instructor-led training course. This class utilizes extended training hours to be delivered in a 5-day format and includes an exam voucher! The CCNA class covers a broad range of fundamentals for IT careers, based on the latest network technologies to drive skilling in security and networking basics, along with programmability and automation. Join us in the next Guaranteed to Run class to prepare for the worldwide accepted and acknowledged certification. By the way, CCNA certifications are valid for three years from the date you gain it.

Instructor was very knowledgeable and was willing to assist. - Student

CompTIA Security+ (logo)

THE NEW COMPTIA SECURITY+ (SY0-601) CERTIFICATION IS NOW AVAILABLE

CompTIA Security+ certification is in high demand and continues to serve as a fundamental certification for professionals starting an IT career, or others wanting to build a career in cyber security. On top of that, Security+ certification is also approved by the Department of Defense (DoD) to meet Directive 8570.01 -M requirements.

The new revision of the CompTIA Security+ training course brings more focus on current skills necessary for assessing the cybersecurity posture of an enterprise environment, recommending and implementing appropriate solutions, monitoring, and securing hybrid environments, operating with an awareness of applicable laws/policies, and identifying, analyzing, or responding to cybersecurity events/incidents. Join our next instructor-led training class on March 29, 2021 and receive 6 months access to your class recordings!

Excellent job! Made a rather dull subject more interesting. - Student

Learn how to use the drawing tools you need to turn simple shapes and colors into sophisticated logos, icons, and graphics in our Adobe Illustrator CC training course!
