Entry Requirements
Course participants need to have a basic understanding of networking and system administration, TCP/IP, networking design/architecture, vulnerability assessment, and risk methodologies. ICS410 covers many of the core areas of security and assumes a basic understanding of technology, networks, and security. For those who are brand new to the field and have no background knowledge, SEC301: Intro to Information Security would be the recommended starting point. While SEC301 is not a prerequisite, it provides introductory knowledge that will help maximize a student's experience with ICS410. Participants should be proficient in written and spoken English. There are no minimum entry requirements for years of experience in the domain, education level or age group; but participants should possess the relevant prerequisite skills mentioned above before taking the course.
