CSX Practitioner Level 1: Identification and Protection

  • ISACA’s Cybersecurity Nexus (CSX) certification program supports cybersecurity professionals throughout their career by assessing a candidate’s abilities and skills at three progressive technical skill levels. Levels are differentiated by skills, not by years of experience. Each technical skill level is assessed utilizing a vendor-neutral set of performance-based exams measuring a candidate’s technical skills, abilities and performance.

Learning Outcomes

    • Provide participants with an environment to discuss and practice methods implemented by cybersecurity professionals in the Identify and Protect domains
    • Ensure participants develop into complimentary team members for enterprises who are workforce ready
