Planning a Security Training Path:

Who Needs Training and Why

Agenda

• The Cybersecurity Training Path

• The Training Opportunity

• CyberSAFE

• CompTIA

• CyberSec First Responder

• Advanced Security Courses

• Q/A

Why is a security solution

important?

A SECURITY IS A

GLOBAL CHALLENGE.

Limiting Business Growth

• The average cyber attack:

• Is detected in 170 days

• Is resolved in 45 days once detected

• Costs the organization $1.6 million

• There’s more than lost profits at risk

• Compromised customer data

• Business disruption

• Reputational damage and legal action

• Stolen employee information

Beyond the Fortune 1000

• SMBs need to be concerned about cybercrime as well

• Studies indicate 60% of SMBs go out of business

within six months of an attack

• Smaller companies lack the resources of corporate

America

• The SMB is the driver of the American economy

• 64% of all net-new jobs

• 54% of all US sales

Solutions to the Problem

• Traditionally businesses have relied on preventative

measures to protect networks

• Firewalls, antivirus software, etc.

• Securing networks requires a

multi-faceted approach

• HW/SW solutions

• Process

• People

• The key is ensuring all are working together to

strengthen an organization’s security posture

The Importance of People

• No amount of investment in HW/SW solutions will

totally protect your network

• Process is key, though useless without trained

professionals to implement it

• People are the key piece of the

security puzzle

• Develop, operate, manage,

and enforce an organization’s

security capabilities
