IS20 Controls

Level 400 specialist

IS20 controls are the Top Twenty Most Critical Security Controls in Information Technology. This 4 day training course covers proven tools and methodologies needed to execute and analyze the Top Twenty Most Critical Security Controls.

Nearly all organizations that maintain sensitive information are adopting these Security Controls. These controls were chosen by leading government and private organizations who are experts on how attacks work and what can be done to prevent them from happening. The controls were selected as the best way to block known attacks as well as help search for and alleviate any damage from the attacks that are successful. This course allows the security professional to see how to implement controls in an existing network through highly effective and economical automation. For management, this training is the best way to distinguish how you will assess whether these security controls are effectively being administered.

The IS20 is a part of this Role-Based Career Path
