ABL Cyber Lab offers real world cyber tools skills

ABL Cyber Lab brings experience to Cyber Certification Courses
 

LAB Overview

The ABL Cyber Lab is for both beginner and intermediate level cyber skills building.  The ABL Cyber Lab training programs provide students with an interactive environment to learn the use of powerful hacking tools to scan, attack, test and build the required real-world skills to discover website and application vulnerabilities. The Lab is a secure way to learn and practice on internal, non-public web servers. The Lab training is not conducted in controlled simulations. Users are provided lessons on ABL Lab servers which allow them to progressively learn in a safe environment. Through the use of tools in Kali Linux, they scan and discover flaws and weaknesses known to be used by attackers to compromise systems. By gaining the hands-on experience of offensive tactics, cyber security professionals are able to prepare and determine the most effective strategy for defense.

In addition to many others, Lab students learn Pen Testing and how to perform:

  • Wireless Attacks
    • using aircrack-ng, fern Wi-Fi and Kismet
  • Web Application Analysis
    • Burpsuite, OWASP-Zap, SQLmap, WPScan
  • Sniffing and Spoofing
    • Metasploit, ettercap, wireshark, netsniff-n
  • Information Gathering
    • netdiscover, NMap, recon-ng
  • Cyber Exploitation Tools
    • Social Engineering ToolKit, Metasploit, Armitage, BeEF

Cyber Lab Skills-Based Training

All ABL Cyber Lab students have access to over 200 Kali linux pre-installed tools. Upon completion of all Beginner and Intermediate Lab lessons, all students receive a Certificate of Completion. The Lab experience provides hands on experience which is critical to supplement industry standard certification preparation training. This combination ensures the individual has the knowledge and practical skills to add value to his/her team and help identify poorly designed code and vulnerable system configuration critical to protecting any organization.

Closing the gap in cybersecurity skills requires a national agenda to develop critical technical skills, cultivate a larger and more diverse workforce, and reform education and training programs to include more hands-on learning.

Proactive Approach to Cybersecurity for Arizona Corporations

Recent cyberattacks on corporations like Target, Banner Health and most recently public voter data have influenced corporations to take a much more offensive approach to their internal cybersecurity practices.  As companies like Uber are shifting away from a traditional brick and mortar organization to a more cloud based platform, the need to protect consumer information has increased exponentially.  Modern day ways of doing business now have much less to do with cash as they do a smart phone transaction.

To avoid any setbacks or loss of consumer trust, companies have been forced to rethink their approach to protecting consumer data from a “wait and see” to having skilled and educated employees in place who now take preemptive measures to test strategies and best practices before a breach occurs.

A recent study by CompTIA, a leading resource for the IT industry, has shown that companies now consider security one of the primary responsibilities of their IT team.  Larger organizations may have a subset of individuals whose sole responsibility is protecting consumer data while other smaller companies rely on well trained individuals with Network+ or CISSP certifications leading the helm.

Long gone are the days where a simple firewall was sufficient security. Corporations must now assess vulnerability of data not only within but also vet the security capabilities of vendors with whom they work.  An example of this would be third party credit card processors or cloud based CRM platforms like Salesforce who are trusted daily with detailed consumer information.

Regardless of the security measures a company takes, CompTIA has also found that the most common source of breached data is caused by human error—specifically untrained employees.  Internal efforts to educate employees on cybersecurity best practices often fall short, creating a need for classroom based learning in a short amount of time.

Advanced Business Learning, a licensed State of Arizona postsecondary vocational school and a CompTIA Authorized Training Provider, offers a wide variety of courses which properly prepare workforces to meet today’s challenges in security management. Companies who wish to improve the knowledge base of their workforce can enroll employees in entry-level to advanced CompTIA courses which establish best practices in troubleshooting, networking and security across a variety of devices in a 5-day bootcamp. For those IT departments on the offensive, they may consider the investment in having their top IT professionals becoming ISC2 certified and ultimately becoming a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).

Top Cybersecurity Certifications for Arizona Workers

Best CyberSecurity 5 Day Classes to Earn Certifications

As companies find themselves becoming more and more vulnerable to data breaches, employers in Arizona are increasingly looking within to hire or promote employees who have obtained cybersecurity certifications to ward off future potential attacks. Corporations like Target, who have recently fell victim to a data breach not only pay millions in costly fines but also lose consumer trust and future goodwill.

CompTIA Security +

Job seekers within the growing technology trade in Phoenix who wish to obtain a commercial cybersecurity job or land a coveted IT security position within the defense industry must receive certification as a prerequisite from a state certified school. Depending on the position desired, candidates can start their career with a basic CompTIA certification in network security while top-tier candidates seek the coveted Certified Information Security Manager (CISM). CompTIA certification gives candidates a good overview of best practices in troubleshooting, networking and security across a broad array of devices. Although the CompTIA certification is seen as a stepping stone for more advanced levels of certification, it’s important to note its relevancy as it is required by all employees of the U.S. Department of Defense.

Certified Ethical Hacker

An industry in Arizona that is rapidly growing in popularity is “Ethical Hacking” or “White Hat Hacking.” Ethical hackers must be properly trained and certified because of the high level of trust that is commanded by these positions. Ethical hackers are a unique breed whose main job is to think like a malicious cybercriminal while using that information to protect its employer. In order to properly train individuals to perform this job function, candidates are encouraged to obtain a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification. Certified Ethical Hackers are often referred to as “penetration testers” and are actually encouraged to attempt to penetrate a company’s network without physically stealing any data. Those who are able to successfully balance this mental game are also well rewarded as salaries start within the six figure range.

Certified Information Systems Security Professional

One of the most popular certifications prospective job seekers can obtain is that of a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP). Generally obtained by experienced IT professionals, consultants and auditor and risk management professionals, this certification serves as a base requirement for employees securing a company’s network. While the certification doesn’t focus on a single vendor, it does cover a wide array of topics from physical security to cryptography. Those who fully capitalize on the CISSP certification can make in excess of $150,000 per year.

Certified Information Security Manager

The Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certification is a top-tier certification for those who have at least five years of experience within the network security industry. The CISM classes are very rigorous and will demand every bit of your five years’ background in IT. Those completing this advanced certification will learn about the following four area of cybersecurity:

  • > Information security program development and management
  • > Information security management
  • > Information security incident management
  • > Information risk management and compliance

Completion of this certification has the potential to roll out an invitation to the C-suite as CISM’s often obtain Chief Information Security Officer positions and command in excess of $200,000 annually.
