Logical Operations ALIAS Training Designed to Create Security-First Cultures

Preventing cybersecurity breaches requires companies to implement security practices at all levels of their organizations. The Colonial Pipeline breach was the result of one employee’s VPN account being compromised, once again illustrating that cybersecurity is only as strong as the “weakest link”. The Logical Operations ALIAS — All Levels Information & Application Security — training program is designed to create a security-first mindset throughout an organization.

The most common source of hacker entry is from a compromised account of a non-IT professional. “ALIAS starts with the end user,” says Jim Gabalski, Vice President at Logical Operations. He adds, “Application Developers and IoT Engineers develop applications and need Security by Design training. Incident Responders need training on identifying, isolating, analyzing, mitigating, and preventing breaches. IT Ecosystem Auditors and Managers need training on best practices. Directors and Senior Managers need IT Security Strategy training. And C-Level Managers need training to understand their responsibilities in leading a ‘security first’ culture. ALIAS delivers all of that.”

Data has become the most valuable asset to most companies. Hackers know that and are finding ways to access company data and hold it for ransom. Global spend on cybersecurity is expected to top $270B by 2026 which is more than double the spend of $122B in 2016, just 10 years earlier. A cybersecurity breach takes an average of 280 days to identify and contain while the average breach will cost a company $3.86M. Training to prevent breaches has quickly become a priority for companies across the globe.

The ALIAS program is comprised of training solutions that help prepare an organization against cyberattacks while also mapping to leading vendor-neutral, cybersecurity certifications from CertNexus, CMMC, ISACA, and (ISC)2. These include CyberSAFE, CyberSec First Responder (CFR), Certified Internet of Things Secure Practitioner (CIoTSP), Cyber Secure Coder (CSC), CMMC-CP Boot Camp, CISA, CISM, and CISSP.
