1. Introduction

Cybersecurity is a growing and rapidly changing field, and it is crucial that the central concepts that frame and define this increasingly pervasive field are understood by professionals who are involved and concerned with the security implications of Information Technologies (IT).

Cybersecurity Nexus (CSX) is a new platform for security knowledge and a professional development and certifica-tion program in cybersecurity. Launched by ISACA, CSX provides IT security and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and technical skills to defend their organization from security breaches and cyber-attacks.

A key part of Cybersecurity Nexus is its training workshops and innovative certification tracks. ISACA International notes that while other cyber security certifications assess knowledge in a question-and-answer format, “CSX training and exams are conducted in a live, virtual ‘cyber lab’ environment and test on whether an individual has the skills and technical savvy to do the job.”

The Certification Tracks

CSX certifications are designed to test a candidate’s ability to perform tasks of various degrees of complexity within 5 cybersecurity areas: identify – protect – detect – respond – recover.

This new cybersecurity path begins with the CSX Fundamentals Certificate, which offers a knowledge-based cre-dential on the introductory concepts that frame and define the standards, guidelines and practices of the industry. It also provides insight into the importance of cybersecurity and the integral role of cybersecurity professionals.

The next 4 levels of CSX Certifications are based on the knowledge and concepts covered in the CSX Fundamentals Certificate but test competencies in scenarios that become more complex and sophisticated the higher the level.

The CSX Fundamentals workshop is offered for the second time in Greece, after the quick sold out of the first course which was held, last November. The course is offered exclusively in Greece by ISACA Athens Chapter with the support of the Hellenic American Union.

2. Scope of the course

This workshop is geared toward IT security professionals new to cyber security, recent graduates in IT-relevant fields, and IT professionals looking for a career change to cybersecurity. It prepares you for the CSX Fundamentals Exam covering the foundational areas of cyber security:• Cybersecurity objectives and roles • The difference between cybersecurity and information security • The Principles of Cybersecurity • Information Security within Lifecycle management • Risks and Vulnerabilities • Incident Response
