Cyber Hero Academy Workshops

Threat on your Doorstep: Cybersecurity for Technical Managers

Threat at Your Doorstep is comprised of several 50-minute modules focusing on the current threat landscape, social engineering, critical controls, common attack vectors and more. You'll receive an in-depth overview of the various types of hackers, the nature and role of training programs, warning signs of an attack, you'll also participate in a phishing demonstration. The content will provide an analysis of the current threat landscape that ensures your organization is prepared to address cybersecurity incidents and threats.

Security on a Shoestring

Protecting your organization is getting tougher as prices for security products and services have skyrocketed over the last decade. While larger organizations are able to purchase necessary equipment and hire staff dedicated to security, small and medium sized businesses are not able to keep up. Hackers know this and have redirected their efforts in hopes of pulling off the next large-scale breach. There are plenty of low cost, no cost, solutions available to organizations that have slim budgets. Find affordable solutions to secure your small or medium business.

Incident Response Workshop

Build an incident response plan in this hands-on workshop. Incident response plans provide instructions for responding to a number of potential scenarios, including data breaches, denial of service/distributed denial of service attacks, firewall breaches, virus or malware outbreaks, and insider threats. Without an incident response plan in place, organizations may either not detect the attack in the first place, or not follow proper protocol to contain the threat and recover from it when a breach is detected. The IR Workshop is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800 framework for managing computer security incidents
