Cyber Training Bulletin - October and November

CSD Cyber Defense Education and Training (CDET) Offerings

Highlights: What You Want to Know

On October 5^th, CISA Cyber Workforce Development and Training awardee, NPower, will be hosting a webinar titled “Sourcing for Cyber: Addressing the Cybersecurity Talent Gap with NPower.” Register today to join NPower and CISA’s own Chief People Officer Dr. Kolmstetter, as they delve into insights from cybersecurity leaders as they dissect the causes of the talent gap and propose innovative remedies.
Incident Response (IR) and Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program trainings are now offered on Webex by Cisco rather than Adobe Connect, and GovDelivery will be used for all training-related announcements. In addition, the following changes have been made to improve your IR and CDM training experiences:
- Training courses will now be featured directly on the IR and CDM training web pages, rather than having to use the course catalog on the CISA website.
- Those on the current email distribution list will be copied over to the new platform, where subscriptions can be self-managed.
- Invitations to register for training events will be sent from Cyber Insights (CyberInsights@messages.cisa.gov) via GovDelivery.
Two series were added to the Federal Virtual Training Environment (FedVTE), for the Cyber Defense Analyst and the Cyber Defense Infrastructure Support Specialist. Each new series is mapped to the NICE Framework, and each features guided labs from subject matter experts demonstrating the skills necessary to succeed in these two roles.

This free training series includes 100-level webinars for a general audience which are cybersecurity topic overviews that provide core guidance and best practices to make your network more resilient to attacks. It also includes 200-level Cyber Range Training courses for government employees and contractors across federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial government, educational partners, and critical infrastructure partners. These Cyber Range Trainings provide guided step-action labs to learn and practice investigation, remediation, and incident response skills.

Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation

We offer instructor led, hands-on CDM Dashboard training for U.S. Executive Branch employees and contractors in our virtual cyber range training environment. These courses are intended for those at agencies participating in the CDM program who monitor, manage and/or oversee controls on their information systems (e.g., ISSOs, CDM POCs, ISSMs and those who report metrics and measures).

All courses will be taught utilizing the latest version of the CDM Dashboard (ES-6) within a cyber virtual training range (CVLE). The newer offerings in FY23 are the CDM220 and CDM320 Federal Mandates and BOD 22-01 & 23-01 Reporting courses. All the courses have been updated will focus on the newest version ES-6 of the CDM Dashboard. All virtual trainings will be taught using the Webex Webinar platform using the Cyber Virtual Learning Environment. See the Cyber Training Bulletin Highlights above for more information on the platform change.
