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-6.1) 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 6.1. 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.
