Training & Certification Road map is given below:
| Product | Delivery Mode | Days of Training | Details |
| Cyber Security | |||
| CyberSAFE | ILT | 0.5 | A single email can lead to a multi-million dollar breach in seconds, and the employee responsible may not even be aware of their mistake. The problem lies in the fact that many end users aren’t aware of the dangers accompanying today’s most common cybersecurity threats, much less how to detect them. CyberSAFE helps ensure that your end users can identify the common risks associated with using conventional end-user technology, as well as how to safely protect themselves and their organizations from security risks. |

| CFR-310 | ILT | 5 | Cybersecurity professionals require a well-rounded understanding of the tools, processes, and strategies that can be employed to defend their information systems from constantly evolving threats. CyberSec First Responder® (CFR) is a comprehensive certification designed to validate the knowledge and skills required to protect these critical information systems before, during, and an incident. CFR is compliant with ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024 standards and is approved by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to fulfill Directive8570/8140 requirements |

| IR Biz | ILT | 1 | Designed for IT, Communication, Legal, and Risk Management professionals, Incident Managers and Executive Stakeholders who are responsible for complying with incident response policies and legislation. IRBIZ will demystify the incident response methods and procedures that are taught in alignment with industry frameworks such as US-CERT’s NCIRP (National Cyber Incident Response Plan), and Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 41, United States Cyber Incident Coordination. This micro-credential is ideal for individuals who have been tasked with managing compliance with legislation and other regulatory requirements regarding incident response, and for executing standardized responses to such incidents. |
| CSC | ILT | 3 | In today’s digital world, companies and end users alike are using applications to access and interact with their data on a daily basis. To keep up with the demand for constant connectivity, organizations are purchasing and developing applications at an impressive rate – but they are not always designed to defend against the ever-evolving threat landscape. Cyber Secure Coder is designed to validate the knowledge and skills required to design and develop protected applications, regardless of the language used for development or the platform on which they will be deployed. |
