Critical Infrastructures and Cyber Protection Center

  

Director's Welcome

Welcome to the Critical Infrastructures and Cyber Protection Center at Capitol College. The CICPC was established to address the technical and managerial needs of the information assurance workforce, particularly working professionals who do not desire or have the resources to participate in formal degree-bearing academic programs. CICPC programs provide the IA professional, or those seeking to enter the IA workforce, with technical skills training, focused professional development, certifications in various specialty areas, and examination review opportunities for individuals and organizations seeking industry recognized security certifications. Participants earn continuing professional education units (CPEs) along with a certificate or document of completion reflecting their participation. The CICPC program inventory also includes a suite of offerings that satisfy requirements of Department of Defense Directive 8570.1.

CICPC programs are delivered online through real-time classes recorded for later playback, enabling program participants the ability to review the course material as their schedule permits. Customized programs can be arranged and delivered on-site or online, including delivery in alternative time zones. CICPC program offerings include:

• Industry certification preparation (CISSP, SSCP, Security+, IdM)
• Certification and accreditation (C&A) certificate tailored for government, DoD, or the commercial sector
• FISMA compliance certificate
• National information assurance training standards certificates
• Digital forensics certificate
• System life cycle security testing and evaluation certificate

All CICPC programs are taught by subject matter experts from government and industry, many of whom also serve as faculty in the master of science program in information assurance. By choosing Capitol College as your professional development and workforce training provider, you can rest assured that our pragmatic approach to learning and emphasis on critical thinking provides added value to your educational experience.

I encourage you to learn more about our programs as detailed through this section of the college’s website, and to contact us with questions about your learning experience at Capitol College.
