The KMSP is fundamental pillar of establishing and maintaining a COMSEC account, and as such, all CSE-approved COMSEC accounts must ensure that appointed personnel possess the required knowledge to manage the operational use of cryptographic material assigned to a cryptonet. In this course, you will become familiarized with the roles and responsibilities of the appointed authorities, the families of Accountable COMSEC Material, cryptonet key requirements, and the development of a KMSP. Most importantly, you will be walked through the KMSP process step-by-step and then given an opportunity to complete a sample KMSP, fully preparing you to administer the one at your account.

The Cyber Centre Learning Hub is pleased to announce the launch of the Cyber Security Considerations for Citizen Developers instructor-led course. The concept of citizen developers is defined as employees who create application capabilities for consumption by themselves or others, using available tools that require little to no coding or programming experience. In these circumstances, security may not be top of mind. This course covers cyber security as it relates to coding including vulnerabilities, countermeasures, and coding principles. The overall goal of the training is to:

• implement cyber security best practices to reduce vulnerabilities associated with citizen development/data analysis practices
• empower citizen developers/data analysts to program/code with cyber security in mind

Would you like to know how to better protect your sensitive information? This course will provide you with practical hands-on training on protecting file confidentiality and integrity through encryption and digital signatures. It will also enable you to apply volume encryption to data at rest, encrypt and digitally sign email, validate the integrity of downloaded software, enhance privacy and security by using a VPN, and encrypt text, voice, and video messages. Using these methods will help ensure the confidentiality of your information and will provide you with a greater sense of confidence when handling sensitive information. Don’t wait, register today!
