 Return to: Degrees, Certificates, and Awards by Degree
The Saddleback Cyber Operations certificate is designed to provide hands-on learning and experience to develop tomorrow’s cyber defenders. Students will learn how to protect networks and data through intelligence gathering, threat detection, incident response, digital forensics, and security monitoring. Students need to have completed the Saddleback College’s Cyber Defense A.S. degree or equivalent course work prior to enrolling in order to meet the prerequisite Computer Science – Cyber Defense requirements. This certificate augments the CS Cyber Defense A.S. degree by providing students with hands-on learning and experience in a Cyber Defense Operations Center (CDOC) and preparation for three (3) additional DoD Approved 8570 Baseline Certifications (CCNA Cyber Ops, CompTIA CySA+, and CompTIASec+) which exceeds the minimum certificate requirements for the CSSP Analyst, Infrastructure Support, Incident Responder, and Auditor levels.
The United States Department of Defense (DoD) Cyber Security Service Provider (CSSP) workforce consist of 5 different levels of employment (e.g. Analyst, Infrastructure Support, Incident Responder, Auditor, and Manager), with each requiring one or more industry certificates along with a 4-year degree. The CSSP is a highly sought-after certification issued by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) that indicates a candidate’s fitness for the DoD CSSP workforce.
