Duration 4 Days 24 CPD hours This course is intended for This course assumes the student has successfully taken and passed the NCSF Foundation 2.0 course based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework version 1.1, release April 2018. Following the course introduction, the course provides an introduction to the intersection between digital transformation and cybersecurity, which is followed by an overview of the threat landscape. Following an approach to the implementation of cybersecurity controls, the course delves into an organizational approach to cybersecurity that starts governance, management, and a supportive culture,Finally, the course provides additional guidance for the cybersecurity practitioner to determine the current state, the desired state, and a plan to close the gap - and to do this over and over again to inculcate it into organizational DNA. Overview This course looks at the impact of digital transformation on cybersecurity risks, an understanding of the threat landscape, and an approach to the application of cybersecurity controls. It provides guidance for students on the best approach to design and build a comprehensive cybersecurity program. Executives are keenly aware of the risks but have limited knowledge on the best way to mitigate these risks. This course also enables our executives to answer the critical question - Are we secure? The class includes lectures, informative supplemental reference materials, quizzes, exercises, and formal examination. The exercises are a critical aspect of the course; do not skip them. Outcomes and benefits from this class is a practical approach that students can use to build and maintain comprehensive cybersecurity and cyber-risk management programs. This course is targeted at IT and Cybersecurity professionals looking to become certified on how to operationalize the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NCSP) across an enterprise and its supply chain. Digital Transformation Explores what the Practitioner needs to know about the relationship between digital transformation and cybersecurity Explain how to determine the impact of cybersecurity on DX. Explain the relationships between culture and digital transformation from the perspective of a practitioner. Explain the delivery of value to stakeholders in a DX & cybersecurity environment. Illustrate the interdependent relationship between cybersecurity and DX. Threat Landscape The Practitioner needs to understand what threat actors do and their capabilities. Compare the evolving attack type impact to the threat environment. Apply knowledge about the threat landscape to maintain a readiness to respond. Develop a risk profile based on business impact analysis Establish the relationship between awareness and training in the continual improvement of cybersecurity posture. Develop and treat training & awareness as a critical aspect of deterrence Use knowledge about the threat landscape as a predicate to the adoption and adaptation of your cybersecurity posture. The Controls This chapter provides a sample set of controls based on an informative reference. Understand the purpose goals & objectives for each control. Characterize & explain the informative reference controls Discover how to apply the controls in an organizational context. Adopt & Adapt Adopt is a decision about governance; adapt is the set of management decisions that result from the decision to adopt. Distinguish Adopt, Adapt, Management & Governance. Develop an approach to adoption & adaptation. Distinguish & demonstrate the impact of organizational culture on developing cybersecurity as a capability. Develop an assessment approach to define current state. Adaptive Way of Working Threat actors are agile and highly adaptive. The cybersecurity Practitioner must develop the same capabilities Break down what constitutes an adaptive approach. Characterize & apply the need for crossfunctional teams. Recognize and prioritize the first steps (get started). Demonstrate & establish cybersecurity phases. Break down the impact of the flows. Rapid Adoption & Rapid Adaptation FastTrack FastTrack? is an approach to allow organizations to learn to adapt to an evolving threat landscape rapidly. Approach: Establish what it takes to adopt CS. Determine how that impacts management adaptation of CS. Determine how that impacts the capability to assess. CS Capability: Determine the gap between existing & needed capabilities. Establish what must be developed. Develop appropriate risk management profile. Discover how cybersecurity impacts people, practice & technology impacts organization. Differentiate CIS Implementation groups. Determine appropriate implementation group & approach. Develop appropriate phase approaches. CIIS Practice Cybersecurity is an ongoing game of cat and mouse. Organizations must learn how to inculcate cybersecurity improvement into their DNA.

Duration 3 Days 18 CPD hours This course is intended for This is an introductory-level XML training course, designed for those needing an introduction to concepts and technologies associated with XML and its related recommendations. Previous experience or knowledge of HTML is helpful but not essential. Overview This course is an intensive, hands-on introduction to XML, XPath, and XSLT. The course is a balanced mixture of theory and practical labs designed to take students from the basic fundamentals of XML through to the related advanced technologies. The students walk through the different standards in a structured manner to enable them to master the concepts and ideas, which are reinforced in the lab exercises. The course starts with the fundamentals of XML, including coverage of DTDs and XML Schema. It then moves on to the XPath and XSLT standards, and how to use them to transform XML documents into other documents such as HTML documents or other XML documents. This course provides indoctrination in the practical use of W3C standards (including XSL and XML Schema) and of implementing tools and technologies. This course is programming language independent, making it useful for Java, .NET, C++, and any other programming orientation. Graduates will hit the ground running, applying XML to projects at both an architectural as well as a line by line coding level. We can easily adapt this course to industry and client specific needs.In addition to valuable knowledge and working examples, students receive a copy of the 'Xtensil' product. This unique software was developed to assist in implementing, testing, and fielding XML applications. Xtensil is used as both a teaching aid and a straightforward, basic, fully functional XML toolkit that students can use on Windows and Linux platforms. Working in a hands-on learning environment student will learn to: Write well-formed XML documents Model business requirements using XML Handle XML reserved characters Validate an XML document with a DTD and with a Schema Centralize data and markup definition with entities Create DTDs and Schemas using XML tools Generate XML documents from databases Write XSL templates to transform XML documents into HTML Integrate XML, XSL and the DOM to implement a complete solution The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a standard that is enabling a revolution in web applications and business to business interactions. XML is the basis for Wireless Markup Language (WML), Voice Markup Language (VoiceML), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Web Services, and numerous industry initiatives such as ACORD (insurance), PXML (proposal/RFP) and OTA (travel). Introduction to XML is a three-day, hands-on course geared for software developers who need to understand what XML is and how to use in with today's systems and architectures. This course covers the topics from tags to architectures. The course is a balanced mixture of theory and practical labs designed to take students from a quick review of the basic fundamentals of XML through to the related advanced technologies. The students walk through the different standards in a structured manner to enable them to master the concepts and ideas, which are reinforced in the lab exercises. The course starts with a quick review of the fundamentals of XML before covering XML Schema in detail. It then moves on to the XPath and XSLT covering advanced topics in both. Finally, XML and Web Services security mechanisms and issues are addressed.
