The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is proud to present the Introduction to Log Management (IR210) Cyber Range Training event Thursday, March 28, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. EDT. The 200-level training events are open to government employees and contractors across federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial government, educational partners, and critical infrastructure partners. Please use your organization email address when registering.

This course is ideal for those working in cybersecurity roles who are interested in learning technical incident response skills and requires active engagement from all participants. The course assumes a mixed audience (e.g., from disparate teams and organizations) of mixed capability. 

Log files provide the data that are the bread and butter of incident response, enabling network analysts and incident responders to investigate and diagnose issues and suspicious activity from network perimeter to epicenter. Participants will be introduced to basic principles of log management and configuration. Federal compliance regulations of log configuration and management including OMB Memo M-21-31 will also be introduced.

Experience these benefits and more:

• Common attack methods: Understand the importance of the configuration, management, and analysis of logs for incident response and identify key processes of log management.
• Practice in a realistic environment: Investigate and analyze log data for suspicious activity. Detect and correlate possible IOCs or malicious activity with threat intel. Exercises include configuring a DNS server, network device firewall, an operating system and more for propper logging.

• Expert facilitation and peer discussion: Throughout the course, expert cybersecurity engineers will moderate discussions and conduct a recovery debrief for the exercises. Participants are also encouraged to help one another and offer relevant input to address peers' questions.

This exercise is a step-by-step, facilitated experience that uses a keyboard approach to understand these topics in a realistic technical environment.

Approved registrants must attend a mandatory student technical check the day before the training to establish a connection to the course content and lab environment.

NTIA/ITS, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Defense FutureG Office, is hosting a Forum where radio access network (RAN) Intelligent Controller (RIC) Application (App) vendors and universities can demonstrate the current state of the Open RAN RIC App market.

This event provides a venue for the demonstration of viable RIC Apps and their use cases, for the purposes of technical knowledge sharing. Presenters will showcase RIC App demonstrations (not simulations) that measure and display the effects of their xApps and rApps on a 5G Open RAN network.

Preparing for cyber incidents is pivotal for small businesses to mitigate potential damages and ensure continuity in the face of cyber threats.

This training is designed to assist small business owners and decision-makers in developing robust cyber incident response plans. "Cyber Incident Response Planning: Building Resilience for Small Businesses" offers a comprehensive understanding of incident response frameworks, strategies, and best practices tailored to the specific needs and resources of small businesses.

Did you hear the big news? The NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 was published on February 26, 2024. If that wasn’t exciting enough, we also published the CSF 2.0 Small Business Quick Start Guide along with it.

As a supplement to the CSF 2.0, the new Small Business Quick Start Guide provides small-to medium-sized businesses (SMB) with resources and considerations to kick-start their cybersecurity risk management strategy using the CSF 2.0.

During the webinar on March 20, 2024, we will spend 30 minutes providing an overview of the Small Business Quick Start Guide, will highlight other new CSF 2.0 resources, and we will reserve 15 minutes at the end for audience questions. 

Join cybersecurity expert Tim Dubman in a non-technical discussion of cybersecurity business risks. Best practices will be explored including how relying on cyber insurance can fail. (Duration 1 hour)

In today's digital age, small businesses are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals who exploit vulnerabilities to steal sensitive data and disrupt operations. This webinar will equip you with the knowledge and strategies to protect your business from these threats.
