organization and your information assets. Sword & Shield also offer HIPPA and PCI
compliance training to teach your staff in, reducing risk through managing

this certification is highly specialised in comparison to general security awareness
training, if you are an organization with a dedicated security team utilizing
AlienVault products this 5-day course is definitely a necessity. Those who
complete the course and pass the exam are given AlienVault certification in the form
of the AlienVault Certified Security Engineer (ACSE).
CISSP Training: CISSP certification is a highly regarded information security
certification offered by the EC-Council. Sword & Shield offer a 5-day live online

LMS solution can be integrated in to your existing LMS or delivered through the Sword & Shield
