ISACA CSX Practitioner I: Identification and Protection Training

by

ISACA CSX Practitioner I: Identification and Protection Training: ISACA’s Cybersecurity Nexus (CSX) certification program supports cybersecurity professionals throughout their career by assessing a candidate’s abilities and skills at three progressive technical skill levels. Levels are differentiated by skills, not by years of experience. Each technical skill level is assessed utilizing a vendor-neutral set of performance-based exams measuring a candidate’s technical skills, abilities and performance in the following areas: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.

The CSX Practitioner I: Identification and Protection Training course focuses on the first two domains within CSX Practitioner certification exam – Identify and Protect. Those who register for this ISACA authorized CSX Practitioner 1 prep course will learn how to apply industry-developed, experience-based methods to the identification of specific internal and external network threats. Additionally, students will learn the basic concepts, methods, and tools associated with implementing cyber security controls to protect a system from the identified threats.

This CSX Practitioner I: Identification and Protection Training course, along with CSX Practitioner 2 and 3, was developed using existing global cybersecurity frameworks as well as input from hundreds of subject matter experts. Whether a student is planning to write the exam or learn more about Cyber Security, this course is packed with study tips and practical exercises.
