Cybersecurity Foundations, Certified by the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR)—FY 21-22 (#125).

This is a foundation-level course for individuals looking to get up to speed on Cybersecurity. For compliance reasons, as well as to get a general idea of the concepts, practices, and tools involved in practicing Cybersecurity, this course is an ideal starting point for you.

This cybersecurity training program focuses on forming information security habits and procedures that protect information resources; and teaches best practices for detecting, assessing, reporting, and addressing information security threats.

Compelling value propositions

In addition to the really well-structured yet not-too-overwhelming content structure, this course aims to alleviate some of the most common issues encountered in taking up online self-paced courses by

a) leveraging our pool of subject matter experts and instructors to answer every course-related question within one business day, and

b) committing to a course update frequency of at least 1 update every six months.

Please also note that this is a Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) certified course – FY 21-22 (#125). This basically means that if you are a Texas state and local government employee or contractor and Section 2054.5191 requires you to complete a certified training program, this course will help you fulfill that requirement.
