VU23220 - Develop and carry out a cyber security industry project
Overview
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge to develop and undertake a project that simulates a real cyber security industry environment. The project may include using a Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC) sandbox or equivalent laboratory environment. This environment allows the participant to demonstrate configuring and testing of firewalls, implementing Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) and evaluating and identifying any traffic anomalies. The use of Red & Blue teaming exercises to identify security breaches and apply mitigation strategies to minimise further risk are included as part of the project. This unit applies to individuals working as cyber security technicians within a team environment.
