Activity Security Manager
Don’t miss CDSE’s upcoming Activity Security Manager course! This mid-level, virtual, instructor-led training (VILT) course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of how to apply and implement specific DOD Information Security policies and procedures to mitigate and manage risks associated with developing, managing, and evaluating a DOD Information Security Program (ISP). Over 4 weeks in a mostly asynchronous environment, students are anticipated to invest 40-60 hours. The course is tailored for DOD civilian, military, and contractor personnel with primary duties as an activity security manager, information security program specialist, or manager within a DOD Component ISP. Students should have a functional working knowledge of the DOD ISP.
After taking this course, students can expect to implement the fundamental policies and requirements of the ISP, implement risk management to protect DOD assets, determine fundamental cybersecurity and information technology principles, and so much more.
