We offer certification classes that help lead to leading IT security credentials, including CompTIA Security+, CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005), Microsoft SC-900, Microsoft SC-200, CISSP, CEH, CSCU, CCISO, and CND.

CompTIA Security+ validates knowledge of communication security, infrastructure security, cryptography, operational security, and general security concepts.

CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) is an advanced, master-level security credential (formerly CASP+) that proves competency in enterprise security architecture, risk management, incident response, and the integration of computing, communications, and business disciplines against enterprise-level cybersecurity threats. It is an international, vendor-neutral certification.

Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals (SC-900) is an introductory Microsoft certification that builds an understanding of security, compliance, and identity concepts across Microsoft cloud and related services.

Microsoft Security Operations Analyst (SC-200) validates the skills to detect, investigate, and respond to threats using Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender, and related security tools.

Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) Sponsored by (ISC)², the CISSP certification provides information security professionals with an objective measure of competence and a globally recognized standard of achievement. This credential is ideal for mid- and senior-level managers working toward or already in positions such as CISO, CSO, or Senior Security Engineer.

Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) To beat a hacker you have to think like one. This certification is for individuals trusted to attempt to penetrate networks and computer systems using the same methods as a malicious hacker, so weaknesses can be found and fixed first.

Certified Secure Computer User (CSCU) This class immerses students in an interactive environment where they gain a fundamental understanding of computer and network security threats such as identity theft, credit card fraud, online banking phishing scams, viruses and backdoors, email hoaxes, loss of confidential information, and social engineering.

Certified Chief Information Security Officer (CCISO) CCISO is a leadership course designed specifically for experienced InfoSec professionals. It covers the five CCISO domains with deep dives into real scenarios drawn from the experience of the CISOs who helped build the body of knowledge, course, and exam.

Certified Network Defender (CND) Covers the protect, detect, and respond approach to network security. Includes hands-on labs based on major network security tools and techniques to give network administrators real-world expertise in network security technologies and operations.
