Logical Operations' CFR Certification Made the DoD Approved List


This may not be news to you but it is important to know in your pursuit to validate your skillsets, I recommend you get certified and get ahead with accredited organizations like Logical Operations. The important accreditation/standardization authorities are International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and for sake of this post, DOD Directive 8570.01. 

Logical Operations has two flagship program, CyberSAFE (End-User Security Awareness) and CyberSec First Responder (Incident Response and Threat Analysis).

YOU are the first line of defense your organization has against a cyber security attack. Don't leave it to chance, become CFR certified.

By taking an approach where an understanding of the anatomy of an attack is developed, the CyberSec First Responder (CFR) cyber security certification validates individuals have the high-stakes skills needed to serve their organizations before, during, and after a breach.

A CyberSec First Responder is the first line of defense against cyber attacks that can cost an organization valuable time and money. The CyberSec First Responder cyber security training and certification program will prepare security professionals to become the first responders who defend against cyber attacks by teaching students to analyze threats, design secure computing and network environments, proactively defend networks, and respond/investigate cyber security incidents.

Far too often, people end up being the weak point in an organization's overall cybersecurity plan. Protect your people and your organization.


Even with millions spent on security infrastructure, all it takes is one employee clicking on one wrong link to compromise critical data and information systems. End-user security awareness is a major issue in the business world today. The threat landscape is complicated, and the typical end-users are unaware of the ways in which they could adversely affect their organization.

With organizations being put under a microscope when it comes to their cybersecurity practices, the costs are too high to overlook the importance of effectively equipping end-users with the skills they need to combat the growing threat of cybercrime.

Test your cyber skills with the CyberSAFE Readiness Test. 

Measure your organization's level of preparedness against cyber threats with the CyberSAFE Readiness Test. This complimentary assessment tool can be used to measure the extent to which employees can recognize and avoid common cyber threats like phishing, malware, and non-secure websites. Use this tool to identify skills gaps and determine which employees need additional cybersecurity training.

The Three Elements of Cyber Security

What problem costs $1.6 million, takes 170 days to discover, and requires 45 days to fix? Give up? It’s the average cyber-attack on a business. Is cyber security too expensive? An effective cybersecurity initiative that costs at least a dollar less than $1.6 million is, by definition, cheaper than the alternative. End of discussion. What about the 170 days that a cyber-attack can go undetected? That’s 24 weeks! For comparison, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says that, as of September 2016, the median job search takes 10.3 weeks. That means you could lose your job, find a new one, lose that job, and find a new one all in the time it takes for the average organization to discover its network has been breached. I didn’t pick the duration of the median job search at random. Among small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), 60% go out of business within six months of being victimized by a cyber-attack. So if you work at an SMB that is attacked, when you detect the intrusion 170 da...

Parent company Verizon Communications Inc. disclosed this news earlier today, Tuesday, October 3, 2017, according to the Wall Street Journal . Here is Insight from Matt O'Brien, AP Contributor for WRAL :  Yahoo: 3 billion accounts breached in 2013. Yes, 3 billion   The breach now affects a number that represents nearly "half the world," said Sam Curry, chief security officer for Boston-based firm Cybereason, though there's likely to be more accounts than actual users. "Whether it's 1 billion or 3 billion is largely immaterial. Assume it affects you," Curry said. "Privacy is really the victim here." Yahoo first disclosed the breach in December . The stolen information included names, email addresses, phone number...
