Risk Management Policy and Methods
FC RMF 201
Risk Management Methodology
Integrating enterprise and cloud systems risk management, students apply the NIST RMF as they complete project deliverables and communicate project results. In addition, students develop in-depth analytic competencies.
In this virtual practicum, focusing on integrated enterprise on-prem and cloud systems, students develop the capability to evaluate a test case scenario system, develop an SSP, and select and/or write appropriate security controls. Students then document results.
Focusing on integrated enterprise on-prem and cloud systems, students develop the capability to evaluate system security, analyze system assessment reports to make recommendations for a POA&M, comply with all Authorization to Operate package requirements, and strategically develop ISCM. Recommendations based on completed assessment and authorization project for the enterprise on-prem and cloud systems.

FC IOD 101
Security Fundamentals /
Computer Network Exploitation
PART 2
In addition, students will learn through each stage of offensive operations methodologies using tradecraft, stealth, and detection avoidance as the key principles.
Students will gain proficiency with open-source penetration tools and learn techniques in vulnerability scanning, remote and client-side exploitation, and advanced post-exploitation techniques targeting both Windows and Unix based operating systems.
FC IOD 201
Cyber Operations and Intermediate Incident Response
This course focuses heavily on deep packet inspection, statistical flow record analysis, post-exploitation forensics, intrusion detection, network tunneling, and malware network behavior.
Extensive network analysis is conducted throughout each stage of the hacker methodology to include packet capturing of scanning, service enumeration, exploitation, man-in-the-middle techniques, and tunneling.
The course progresses into understanding breach detection, damage assessment procedures, and incident response actions from both technical and legal perspectives.
Students detect and respond to simulated system intrusions, develop, and implement mitigation strategies, and create documentation of the incident with supporting custodial forensic evidence.

FC IOD 301
Windows, Linux, and Network-based Intrusion Detection and Analysis
Within the networking section, students will learn proper placement of intrusion detection systems and proper setup. Students will focus on using open-source detection software to capture, analyze, and report on different types of intrusions.
Within the host-based sections, students will configure security products and use analytic tools to identify anomalous behavior on the hosts.
Students will use timeline and log analysis to craft meaningful written reports categorizing identified behaviors and anomalies in addition to building actor profiles based off their findings.
Using the incident response techniques, they learned previously, students will implement real-time solutions for simulated customers while providing risk management analysis to mitigate security holes and establish protective tactics.
FC IOD 401
Malware Analysis, Threat Assessment, Reverse Engineering, and Behavioral Malware Analysis
Students will profile malicious executables, identify key metadata and setup for static and behavioral analysis. Each lab represents the different threats found on the internet and walks the students through the process of collecting passive observables, running through behavioral analysis in a Sandbox environment, and performing memory analysis.

2. Select an initial set of baseline security controls for the system based on the security categorization.
3. Implement selected security controls and describe how the controls are employed.
4. Assess security controls using appropriate assessment procedures to determine how the controls are
implemented correctly, operating as intended, and producing the desired outcomes for meeting the
system’s security requirements.
5. Authorize the information system operation based on determining the risk and the decision that this risk is
acceptable.
6. Monitor the security controls continuously in the information system.
