The teaching faculty at ASD IT Academy is first-rate. We know cybersecurity because we work in cybersecurity every day, accumulating decades of combined experience in information assurance and protection, data guarding, systems auditing, software engineering, governance, regulatory compliance, computer forensics, and risk assessment and management. Our program leaders know their stuff and own the certifications to back it up - and we want nothing more than to provide you with the skills needed to excel as an advanced cybersecurity professional.

Which aspects of cybersecurity interest you most? Maybe it's network infrastructure security, or penetration testing and intrusion detection. Or perhaps you're interested in white-hat analysis of system vulnerabilities and counteracting security threats. Or perchance you'd like to devise cloud computing models to protect and secure data your company stores in the cloud.
Additionally, there's mobile application security, endpoint protection, digital forensics, data governance, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance.

Okay, we admit it: Sometimes the technical aspects of cybersecurity technologies can be somewhat dry. Sure, we love the subject matter and everything related to it . . . but when a course gets into the nitty gritty details of proper cybersecurity procedures and required compliance reports, we're aware that even the most attentive students can allow their focus to stray.
That's why each of our experienced instructors practices interactivity in every program they teach. Our online classrooms are set up to be interactive, making it easy for students to ask questions and for the instructor (and the rest of the class) to give direct answers. We understand the indispensable role that engagement plays in the learning process, so we strive to keep our virtual classrooms an inviting, welcoming, engaging place to learn at your own pace online.
Ultimately, ASD IT Academy is here to provide total support for your efforts to earn the certifications you need to advance your career - or to land your first entry-level position in the cybersecurity industry.
The thing about a bachelor's degree in computer science is that it can quickly become outdated. Employers aren't very impressed by job seekers with a degree older than a few years and little to no continuing education credits in the meantime. They're looking for employees who have the tools to work in cybersecurity now.
So it might be time to bulk up your certification list, add to your IT skills, and keep your cybersecurity career on the right track.
Here's a list of some of the certifications our ASD instructors personally own - and that ASD training courses can prepare you for:
-
CompTIA Security+
-
Amazon AWS Architect
-
Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA)
-
Certified Information Security Manager (CISM)
-
Certified Authorization Professional (CAP)
-
Certified Information System Security Professional (CISSP)
-
Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC)
-

Our hands-on courses provide students with the knowledge, tools, and skills needed to confidently apply for jobs in cybersecurity . . . and there's no greater confidence-booster than a freshly earned certification from ASD IT Academy.
