COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Systems Security Analyst – Foundations – Pilot
This is a pilot of the five (5) day Systems Security Analyst (SSA) Foundation course. Learners will be provided an introduction into the analysis and development of the integration, testing, operations, and the maintenance of systems security. This course will also provide an insight into DoD cybersecurity core concepts as well as provide a foundation for assessing DoD systems using current standards. And finally, the course will provide an introduction to tools used for the authorization of a DoD information system.
