CSD Cyber Defense Education and Training (CDET) Offerings
Highlights: What You Want to Know
- CISA has recently announced two new collaborative efforts, as it continues striving to maximize access for underrepresented communities in cyber and establish alliances that strengthen CISA’s ability to reach the national cyber talent pool:
- The CyberSkills2Work program, part of the University of West Florida Center for Cybersecurity, is an intensive online cybersecurity training program focused on critical infrastructure security and industrial control systems security. It is designed to help individuals launch or advance cybersecurity careers, with an emphasis on federal, state, and local government personnel, transitioning military, veterans, women, and underrepresented minorities.
- CISA offers new micro-challenges on Try Cyber that are now part of the Cyber Careers Pathway Tool, located on the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Careers and Studies (NICCS™) website. For K-12 students and individuals looking to reskill or transition from a non-cyber career, CISA’s micro-challenges provide a chance to experience the knowledge, skills, and tasks enacted in the top cybersecurity workforce roles.

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).
The CDM training goal is to provide the learner the basics of CDM and using the CDM Dashboard capabilities to help mitigate agency threats. We will also provide numerous CDM resources and external references.
All courses will be taught utilizing the latest version of the CDM Dashboard (ES-6.0.5) within a cyber virtual training range (CVLE). The course content has been updated and will focus on the current version ES-6 of the CDM Dashboard, including the latest dashboard content pack, version 6.0.5. The latest CDM Dashboard capabilities will be discussed, including FISMA Automation. The current CDM courses fall into the 100 level (Introductory) and 200 level (Intermediate) level offerings.
