Interactive virtual training courses make it
easy for individuals and organizations to step up their cyber
skills from home
EmergingEd and intelligence-led security company FireEye
(NASDAQ: FEYE) today announced their strategic partnership to both
produce and deliver essential cyber security training online. Today
the companies made available the first of these cutting-edge,
expert-led, interactive courses.
With massive shifts in the employment landscape and a growing
cyber security talent need, much of the workforce is looking for
ways to rapidly develop new skills. In addition, as business
adjusts to the recent, rapid shift to supporting remote workforces
and distributed teams, the need to protect against an even broader
array of digital threats has become even more important and, in
some cases, essential to the core functioning of industry. The
broadly available provision of this caliber of online cyber
security training equips professionals with the ability to develop
sought after skills from home, without sacrificing depth or
quality, and industry to have access to a growing pool of
technology talent.
With over a decade of experience, FireEye Mandiant brings its
cyber defense knowledge direct from the front lines to the public
through these courses.
“We are excited to partner with FireEye as a recognized leader
in the cyber security space to deliver this critical training. The
company has a wealth of experience and expertise supporting
thousands of organizations and governmental agencies, making them
the ideal partner to deliver our first set of hands-on technical
cyber security courses,” said Lexi Zarecky, Managing Director at
EmergingEd. “We are thrilled to be able to offer these trainings
FireEye has previously delivered via in-person workshops through
our platform, making them available online for the first time.”
EmergingEd's unparalleled online experience delivers courses
through a dynamic and engaging platform to facilitate quick uptake
of new skills and provides downloadable, high-impact resources that
learners can immediately use on the job.
Online Access to Crucial Cyber Security Knowledge
“The responsibilities and security challenges faced by
organizations today have never been greater. As the threat
landscape evolves, so too must company toolkits,” said Dr. Brett A.
Miller, Managing Director, Education and Training at FireEye
Mandiant. “Together, EmergingEd and FireEye plan to make multiple
online courses available which will help efficiently scale cyber
security training for both individuals and companies across
industries. Through the online training, participants can help
build the necessary skill set for today's job environment, based
off the methods used by our experts themselves.”
The first online course offered through this collaboration is
Network Traffic Analysis. Comprised of four instructional modules
and four live hands-on digital labs, this course teaches learners
how to identify malicious network activity using network protocols,
network architecture, intrusion detection systems, network traffic
capture and traffic analysis. In this course, learners connect
directly with FireEye Mandiant experts to learn the most in-demand
cutting-edge skills and apply them to simulated, live networks in a
safe environment.
Unique to this course with FireEye, each instructional module is
paired with a live lab session. The lab component connects online
learners directly to a technical expert who can guide them through
the practical aspects of security processes in a risk-free setting
including network sensor placement, network flow analysis,
event-based analysis and more.
Enrollment for Network Traffic Analysis is now available. For

Additional FireEye-led courses are expected to be rolled out in
the coming months, such as Windows Enterprise Incident Response and
Cyber Security Awareness.
